BLURB:
The story of LAIKA explores the life and death of the dog that was sent into space from Russia in the 1950s. The story focuses on the relationship between Laika and her scientist trainers, and touches on the ethics of this mission and animal experimentation in general. Her story is not the only one of it’s nature, and many animals have been harmed in the name of science and space exploration. Humanity owes a lot to these animals.
