An Astronomer on a moon base awakes from a dream in which his dog, Laika, is barking. He then flashes back to when he found Laika on the side of the road years ago, and how his fondness for her grew after she alerted him of an earthquake. He comes out of the flashback just in time to sound the alert for a lunar tremor that, thanks to his prompt action, kills only two of his fellow crew members. He remembers his dead dog, He realizes that Laika could not have saved him, for she was separated by 5 years time and a barrier that no man or dog could ever bridge (her death.) It was his never sleeping sub conscious mind, sensing the tremors, that knew how to wake him, by making him dream of Laikas's barking as she did in the earlier earthquake.
How a beautiful story can be ruined by an ugly fact. That things are only what they are, not what we want them to be.
The setting in the story Dog Star is on the Moon where she has left earth to live. This is because though most of the story talks about how Laika and them met and lived on earth, it is only a flashback so therefore it can't be the setting.
In the story "Dog Star" by Arthur C. Clarke, the flashback occurs when the main character, Hank, reminisces about his first encounter with the alien creature in a cave on Ganymede. This memory serves to provide important background information about Hank's initial discovery and subsequent interactions with the alien entity.

The author is likely foreshadowing the later implications or consequences of the yellow star mentioned in the quote. The seemingly innocuous nature of the star now may not necessarily reveal its true significance or danger later on. The phrase "so what it's not lethal" suggests a dismissal of immediate concerns that may become more serious or life-threatening as the story progresses.
The Star Of Bethlehem story is the Christian story about the birth of Christ. According to the story a star appeared over the manger where Jesus was born that allowed the three wise men to find him.
