Most dogs I've known cared more about your tone of voice than how you 
spelled their names. They'd be happy to be remembered at all. Several others
made it to space during the next six years: Strelka, Belka, Pchelka, Mushka,
Damka, Krasavka, Chernushka, Zvezdochka, Verterok, and Ugolyok. Some of them
made it back.

They and the early Leicas were all noble beasts.
