A color photo of Laika with potential astronauts Mushka and Albina. One of the dogs is smaller than Laika, and appears to have dark tan and dark brown coloring. The other is about Laika's size, with mostly white or light tan fur. Laika has a thin tail; the other dog her size has more of a flocculent spiral.

The press referred to Laika as "Muttnik."
Here she is with Mushka and Albina, who were also trained for the mission. Mushka might have gone to space instead of Laika, but she wasn't eating properly.
