NASA never used dogs to test their capsules, only the Russians did. The Americans used chimpanzees. however the first dog to orbit the earth (Laika) did died. Reports revielled that the capsule had no heat shield, allowing Laika to burn during re-entry.

Why was the dog in space?

Laika likely died within hours after launch from overheating, possibly caused by a failure of the central R-7 sustainer to separate from the payload. The true cause and time of her death was not made public until 2002; instead, it was widely reported that she died when her oxygen ran out.

The dog in lost in space?

There was no Dog in the television program Lost In Space- a.k.a Space Family Robinson. The space craft was called the Jupiter II. There was a monkey, a chimpanzee named Debby the Bloop, but to my knowledge, no Canines. a Space dog was made up as a toy in the Moon Mcdare character who was sort of a space-faring action figure akin to G I Joe. I think he was Space Mutt, or Space Dog. This was a toy series not adapted to the small or large screen.
