Russian Space Dogs

A Blog of Dogs We Love

About

Dogs have been man’s best friend for longer than recorded history.  Dogs licked our tears when we were sad, protected us from predators when we were in danger, and provided unconditional love and friendship when no person could.  How do we repay them?  We dress them up like humans and shoot them into space. 
Russian Space Dogs .com is named in honor of the dogs the Soviets sent into space during the 1950s and 1960s to test spaceflight.  The Soviet Space Dog, Laika, was the first living earth creature, with a soul, to enter space.  In the U.S. we nicknamed her Muttnick.  Laika gave her life in pursuit of science when her craft ran out of oxygen. 
Enjoy this site full of pictures of dogs dressed like humans, funny and sweet videos of dogs, and service dog heroes.  You’ll also find fun pictures of dogs that look like their owners and other people.  Please share your photos, videos, and stories.  Just send them to us at geckotales @ gmail.com
