The Female Russian dog known as Laika was a Soviet space dog from Russia and was the first animal to completely orbit the Earth from space (although to be fair, she was dead for most of the journey). She flew aboard on the Sputnik 2 spacecraft, which was launched into a low orbit on November 1957. Laika's survival was never expected as the technology to de-orbit had yet to be developed. After over 50 years, a monument to the brave dog was finally installed near a Moscow military facility in 2008.
