Why did the USSR send dogs into space?

The USSR sent dogs into space to find out how it would be like for a living organism to travel in a spacecraft and if that were even possible. They did not want to risk putting humans into space until they had built a spacecraft that was safe, since the spacecraft that they sent the first dogs in were not made to land back on earth, therefore, the dogs would inevitably die.
