This wiki article on space puppies made my day. If only because Russian scientists had nothing better to do then make up the cutest sounding names!

If i ever have kids, I'm going to name them Belka and Strelka :D

That is an amazing article... Some of my favorites:

"...but ran away the day before the launch. Russian officials feared she had been eaten by wolves"

Another dog runs away and then "A replacement named ZIB, who was an untrained street dog found running around barracks was quickly located and made a successful flight."

The names are very amusing. As is the term "Pupniks"

You'd name one or your kids Squirrel?

It's actually a pretty common nickname for a girl in Russia

Have you seen Letyat Zhuravli? The main character is often called Belka

Белка was the name of the dog in the family in all the dialogs in my Russian book last year.
