Description :
On 3 November 1957, the USSR sent the first living creature into space aboard the Sputnik 2 spacecraft.

It was a dog called Laïka. Found in the street, she was calm and docile. This book tells her story, from her birth in the street, before men had even given her a name.

One day, she is captured by busy humans who subject her to tests and experiments. Locked up in cramped rooms, she misses her freedom. Little does she know that the greatest journey of all has been planned for her.

By telling these historical events from the animal?s point of view, Almudena Pano delivers a touching tale that questions the legitimacy of human ownership of living things. She questions the relativity of what counts, and for whom.
