Liaka, the first dog into space, was sent there by the Russian rocket "Sputnik II",

and was also the first living thing into space, other than bacteria. Liaka died while

in space due to overheating. This fact was released by the Russians only in the

mid-2000's.

(That's not to say that there ever was any plan to bring the dog back to Earth.

She was intentionally and barbarically sacrificed for publicity, and the only thing

that went wrong with the mission plan was that she died sooner than expected.)

(And also BTW . . . It was 'Laika', not 'Liaka'.)
