Dearest Laika, the sadness of your life on this Earth has ignited a fire of concern and activism for your brethren. You may have been small and your life short but your legacy will live forever in the hearts of those fighting to end the victimizing and torturing of blessed souls like yours. We are only humans so it takes us time to get the 'message' you and others of God's gift to us try to teach us. But we are learning. One day at a time and one step at a time but we are learning. I wish I knew how or had the means to speed this process up so the suffering ends, but I carry your 'torch' with me every day. Rest in peace, Kadryavka, rest in peace.

I love you Laika. This day November 3, 2009 is the 52nd anniversary of the day the greed of mankind betrayed you in the worst way possible. My tears fall as if it were yesterday. It is so hard to believe that 624 months have passed since you crossed over to heaven. Although I know it will never be enough Laika, from the bottom of my heart I am sorry. We never met in this life but still my tears fall when I think of what you went through during your final moments in this life. I ask why, but I know the answer will never come. I do know that I will never allow you to be forgotten and that your life was not in vain. You be happy little Curly and enjoy your eternal life in heaven. You certainly deserve it little angel. May God Bless you this day and everyday forever. (((((LAIKA)))))

My dearest Curly, you never wanted anything but home and someone to care for you. You hoped for better life, to be taken away from cold Moscow streets, to live your doggie dreams as every dog should. There are no words to say what happened to you, you were deceived by that piece of sausage, you opened your heart to a person who may have cared about you but still his fear was bigger than his love. They betrayed you, all of them, they sent you on a journey with no return. You became celebrity, everyone was talking about you, but now it seems that you have already faded in people's memory. Not many realize that you died not only for the science but for us all, for the mankind. Still there are some who won't allow that your heroic death was in vain. I am one of them. Rest in peace, sweet innocent girl, may angels sing to you on this sad marker and may God prevent other voiceless victims to go through the same. I do love you so, little Curly.

Hello sweet Laika...you share a date with another precious little girl... Karley. You never should have been treated the way you were. You thought you were going to a loving home but NO. Instead, you were strapped down in a cubicle & sent into space where you would have a tragic end to your beautiful life. I am sooooo sorry. Tomorrow, you have a fun day with all of your friends & PLEASE take Karley to the lake & sit with her. I know my gang will be by her side & I am hoping that she will send her humans lots of smooches because they miss her so very much. Precious Laika...send your mum lots of love for she has given you more love in this page than you ever had in your life on the streets. xoxo

My dear Sweet Laika you were such a brave little girl. My heart goes out to you when I read this tribute to you. I am crying as I type this. My little 15 year old Sparkman went to RB on 1/3/09 - I am sure you have met him. He will love you and take care of you Laika, little Curly, he loves all animals and all children. Thank you so much for what you did Laika. Play with Sparkman and nap in the arms of God's Angels on the softest cloud at the Bridge. Sparkman will tell you all about his life. He will love you Laika as I do. Love forever sweet girl. Sparkman's Momma

Dear Sweet Laika. Today, October 3rd we are upon another monthly anniversary of the worst betrayal possible. It was 623 months ago today that mankind did the unthinkable to you. As the yearly anniversary approaches you remain on my mind and in my heart little Curly. I am so sorry for what they did you you and although you are gone from this life you will never be forgotten. There are many humans who love you and will forever cherish the memory of your life. Be well and be happy my wonderful friend. (((((LAIKA)))))

Laika, I started to read your story, but just couldn't. I am already crying fromw hat I read, and I'm quite fragile these days. I want one thing: I want you to know that us "humans" are not all alike. Many of us CHERISH our relationships with your species, and thank God for all of you every day. I hope you are at peace. I hope you know that there are many of us who mourn your loss and thank you for what you did, even though you did not chose to do it. I hope to see you with my Tara when I come to Rainbows Bridge, and, if no one has yet taken you on with them, you are surely welcome to accompany Tara and I further on. i will give you all the love you never got here on this earth or in space. Bless you, sweet little Laika.

Laika, I love you and I am sorry for what you had to go through. My heart still breaks for so many sweet animals who all deserve a loving hand, a gentle touch, a good meal, a nice soft bed, the security of a home. I pray you are now enjoying your time at the bridge where all is peaceful and the kind and gentle spirit of other creatures dwell. God bless those who have hearts for you, and may we all do our part to make this earth a better place for God's creation. Say hello to my Dixie for me.

My deepest sympathies to you on your loss. I do know what it is like to lose a loved one, whether Human or one of our special, furry babies. Having lost quite a few of my own and doing dog rescue, it is never easy. From my house of 8 furr babies, to yours, we wish you the best. If you ever need to write please do so. I will be there for you. They never leave us, we just don't see them any more. Their spirit lives on.

Laika, there are no words to express my feelings, you are precious and innocent, not deserving your fate.
I remember well the radio broadcast of the flight plans, at that same time there was a radio show called The Shadow, the prelude was " What evil lurks in the heart of man, only the shadow knows. " The charter there fought for justice. I can only pray that there is justice for what man did to you without actual rhyme, purpose or reason.
We know you are with the Angels and friends now running free in the meadow at Rainbow Bridge, where there is green grass to play in, fresh water and great food.
Today I leave for you the Purple Heart which you certainly have earned long ago. And a plant of forget me nots..we will not forget you.
Much love to you precious one.

Dear sweet Laika..yet another story that makes my heart break and my stomach drop. I dont know what man was thinking sending you into space...we had nothing to gain by it and it still would have been wrong either way. I can only blame man's ignorance and coldness for such an act. May you bask in God's glory for eternity as you are one of his true hero's. I would like to thank Lelja for posting your story. I knew very little about you prior to this and I apologize for that as its a story that needs to be told. Your life mattered and all who read this will know that. We will never forget you Laika..and what you were forced to suffer and surrender. I will not ask forgiveness of the departed souls that contributed to this, for they do not deserve it. You however, deserve all of heavens best. We send our love up to you so you know we carry you in our hearts, and are so very very sorry. Love you girl, you were always special, never forget. Love Shari
