Dogs in Space

Last week, Russians and space travel enthusiasts honored Laika, the first dog/earthling to blast through the atmosphere and go weightless, ever. She was plucked off the streets of Moscow and beat out two other dogs competing for the title. Sadly, she died two hours after takeoff from stress and heat.
Today, I am honoring Scout, the first dog on a rollercoaster, ever. She almost died just after take-off.
