Four Famous Dogs from History
-
Laika: Laika was a stray from the streets of Moscow who became the first animal to orbit the Earth. In 1957 she rode into space aboard the Soviet Union's Sputnik 2. Sadly she did not survive the trip but her journey helped pave the way for human spaceflight. She is remembered as a hero and a pioneer.

Balto: In the winter of 1925 the town of Nome in Alaska was in trouble. A deadly illness called diphtheria was spreading and the medicine was a long way off. Teams of sled dogs carried it across the snow and Balto led his team on the final stretch into town. Their bravery helped save countless lives.
-
Apollo: Handler Peter Davis and his German Shepherd co-worker Apollo were the first K-9 search and rescue team at the site on Sept 11, 2001 arriving just 15 minutes after the South Tower collapsed. The Dickin Medal, the animals’ equivalent of the Victoria Cross, recognised the work of all the search and rescue dogs after the attacks.
