Blast From The Past: Space Dogs

 On July 22, 1951, the Soviet Union launched Dezik and Tsygan, the first dogs—and first mammals—to successfully fly into space on a suborbital flight and return safely

Dezik and Tsygan became the first dogs to fly in space and safely return to Earth when they were launched on an R-1V sub-orbital rocket from the Kapustin Yar site on July 22, 1951. 

They reached an altitude of 110 kilometers, experiencing roughly four minutes of weightlessness.
