Laika, which Wikipedia tells me is Russian for "barker" and is also the name of a breed of Russian dog.
Laika, a former stray, died several hours into her flight, from stress and overheating. I've always thought this was a very sad story...

The first dog in space was "Laika", a Russian dog !! Story has it that the dog died midway through the flight since it could not resist the extreme heat conditions.

The dog Laika, the first living creature to orbit the Earth, did not live nearly as long as Soviet officials led the world to believe.
The animal, launched on a one-way trip on board Sputnik 2 in November 1957, was said to have died painlessly in orbit about a week after blast-off.
