Laika, a Russian dog, was the first dog to enter space in 1957. The first dog in space was Laika, who was sent into space in November 1957 as part of the Soviet space program.
Laika. Sent up by the russians.
Dezik and Tsygan were the first dogs to make a sub-orbital flight on July 22, 1951.
Both dogs were recovered unharmed after travelling to a maximum altitude of 110 km. Dezik made another sub-orbital flight in September 1951 with a dog named Lisa, although neither survived.
However, the name of the dog (and indeed the first living creature) to go into space and orbit the Earth was Laika, and she was launched into space on board a Soviet spacecraft 'Sputnik II' (the launch vehicle was the Soviet R-7/SS-6 ICBM (Inter Continental Ballistic Missile) ) on November 3rd 1957.
Laika, [Лайка] means "barker" in Russian (her name was originally Kudryavka). She was said to have died painlessly in orbit about a week after blast-off. However, she did not live nearly as long as Soviet officials led the world to believe. Now, it has been revealed she died from overheating and panic just a few hours (maybe as few as 3) after the mission started.
Laika. Sent up by the russians.

∙ 13y ago"Laika" was launched from the USSR on November 3, 1957.
There never was any plan to bring the dog back alive.
After only a few days, a malfunction aboard the satellite caused the capsule to overheat
to the point that the dog couldn't survive.
After a few months, when the satellite fell out of orbit, the Sputnik, along with the dog's
lifeless carcass, were incinerated and vaporized upon re-entry into the atmosphere.
