Laika was found as a stray on the streets of Moscow, Russia before being selected for the Soviet space program. She was chosen to be the first living being to orbit the Earth aboard Sputnik 2 in 1957.
Laika trained for around three months before being launched into space on Sputnik 2 in November 1957. She underwent tests to prepare her for the conditions of space travel.
Laika is Russian - literally - for "barker"!! The Soviet Union launched a dog named "Laika" into space aboard the Sputnik 2 space capsule. Laika is also the name for a type of hunting dog. There are three breeds - the Russian European Laika, the East Siberian Laika and the West Siberian Laika. Note that Laika, the dog that went to space, is in fact a mongrel.
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.
