What type of an animal did the russians launch into space before they launched a human?

In the early 1950s they used initial tests on rats, mice and rabbits which would not return to Earth. The Russians then chose dogs over monkeys because it was believed that they would be less fidgety in flight. In 1951-52 a total of nine dogs were sent into space. On November 3 1957 a dog named 'Laika' was the first dog in orbit. In 1960, 4 dogs, a grey rabbit, 40 mice, 2 rats, and 15 flasks of fruit flies were sent up. In 1961, 2 dogs, some mice and a guinea pig were sent up to space in March, before Yuri Gagarin was the first astronaut in April 1961. See the related link below for more information.
