I mean they were and still are in space.
Off course I knew this, but it still blew my mind a little.
Important work, rescuing dogs from space. We all know what happened to Laika.
Was curious, so, a source

One of the most important space flights ever was Zond 5. Soviets sent the first Earthlings around the Moon and back. They were tortoises.
Did the Soviets let these heroic chelonians retire in grace? No, they were euthanised and dissected. I'm sure they could have gotten the scientific data they needed with less invasive methods.
All astronauts should rescue all space turtles and tortoises they see!
They wanted to defect.
you can tell this guy actually went to the moon because he’s smiling, unlike the guys at the apollo 11 press conference
Don't spread misinformation, it's because of his alien dogs
Who said those were Earth Dogs?
They could be a sentient species from the planet K9
It's either The Thing, or the one the Russians put up there.
Laika boss
