Laika the dog was the first living being to orbit the Earth in space.She was aboard Sputnik II when it was launched by the Soviet Union on 3 November 1957. (She was a mutt, probably part husky, who had been picked up as a stray.)\n\nLaika means "barker" in Russian... Though Laika is generally given credit as the first animal to visit outer space, other animals (including American mice and the Soviet test dogs Albina and Tsyganka) had earlier been sent on brief suborbital trips into space... Laika is also the name of an alternative rock band founded in the 1990s.\n\nYou can mor information in the link below.

Victoria.  The dog's name was in fact Dash, but she called him Dashy.  Also the dog was originally given to the Duchess of Kent, Victoria's Mother, but eventually was adopted by Victoria.\n\nAfter her coronation the first thing Victoria did when she got back to Buckingham Palace was to give Dash a bath!

I would say the race began in earnest in 1957, when the Russians launched Sputnik, the first man-made satellite to orbit the earth.  Some say it began in 1945 when Russia and the US competed to acquire German rocket scientists and engineers after WWII.

Early in October 1957 communications stations started picking up a regular beeping noise coming from space. \n\nThe signals were coming from Russia's Sputnik 1, the world's first man-made satellite. The launch of Sputnik caused a panic in Washington, as the USA realised how far it had fallen behind in the space race. The worries deepened three months later, when a Vanguard rocket with America's first satellite exploded two seconds after ignition.\n\nIt was January 1958 before a Jupiter rocket successfully launched Explorer 1, the first American satellite.
