Book excerpt: Laika was the abandoned puppy destined to become Earth's first space traveler. This is her journey.

Along with Laika, there is Korolev, once a political prisoner, now a driven engineer at the top of the Soviet space program, and Yelena, the lab technician responsible for Laika's health and life.
