If I remember correctly, before her flight, one of the scientists took Laika home and let her play with his children. To give her a sense of a normal life, as she was just a stray dog they had found.

It sounds cruel, but that’s how the Soviets treated their cosmonauts and ground personnel too. As expendable.

This is not OC, sorry for the confusion.

I added [Not OC] to the title, I usually do it when the sub in where I’m posting are mostly OCs posts. I thought it was implied here.

Don’t be sorry. I assumed it was OC but did not really make any effort to check.

Could you not though? Images taking up most of my screen real estate isn’t exactly enjoyable.

One solution would be to wrap embedded images with spoilers:
