belka (Белка – literally “squirrel”) and strelka (cтрелка – “little arrow or star”) vodka decanter, 2017.

I thought they were dogs and this was a reference to Laika

@fetus-cakes Laika went up alone in 1957, but there were lots if other space dogs, and they usually went up in pairs! Belka and Strelka went up in 1960, and were the first dogs to return to earth safely, only suffering minor injuries. They even went on to have puppies, and their descendants are still alive today!
