What if you send a dog to space instead of a monkey?

@NaturallyPeculiar really??? :/ huh damn me

@FreestyleArt Well I guess technically the US sent a monkey but it was only suborbital and it kind of failed and the monkey died because of a parachute fail if I remember correctly so it's not really counted. Though to be fair the Russians who sent Laika (the dog) didn't have the technology or ability to bring the dog back or even attempted to find away to being for back so she ended up dying in space which is pretty messed up since they sent a dog out there to die just to beat the US.
