Belka and Strelka

Today my daddy learned from his very nice co-worker, that BELKA is a very famous name.

BELKA & STRELKA (little arrow)
Белка & Стрелка
On 19th of August 1960 they travelled on the Sputnik 5 for one day around the Earth and were the first beings to survive a trip into space.
Leika, who was sent on the same mission in 1957 unfortunately died.
Belka's pub was given to the Kennedys.



Here Belka and Strelka on a graffiti.

In 2010 the Russian Animated film told their story.
Belka and Strelka - Space Dogs

Bailey, Белка & The Squirrel

Now that I live in Russia they call me a bit differently.
Белка, Belka, which means SQUIRREL or "Whitey, Little White One"
Isn't that cute?
