A dog from the Soviet Union, Laika, was launched in the Sputnik 2 rocket on November 3, 1957. There is some controversy over whether Laika was euthanised with poisoned food or was asphixiated on her flight, but she died on the craft. The craft was not meant to be retrievable, so she was destined to die in space.
