Dazzling, Laika, Dazzling.

18000 miles per hour
Arc wielding the heavens
In 1,110 pounds of Soviet sphere
Each Russian revolution, 102 minutes
Zero gravity dog suspended
In complete immobilization. Complete (hermetically sealed) isolation

A Moscow mutt with a one way ticket –
No ruby slippers this time Totos

Oxygen dispensed Canis Minor
Slow roasted
A real hot dog

“Soviet Fires New Satellite, Carrying Dog;
Half-Ton Sphere is Reported 900 Miles Up
Orbit Completed – Animal Still Is Alive, Sealed in Satellite, Moscow Thinks.”

“Look, a shooting star!”

A Dog Star.
