Dogs in Russia celebrate Cosmonautics Day, too!

Russia marks Cosmonautics Day on April 12 commemorating the first manned space flight carried out by Yuri Gagarin in 1961 aboard the Vostok-1 spacecraft.

Besides, Soviet dogs Belka and Strelka were the first animals that conducted an orbital space flight and returned alive. This happened on August 19, 1960.
