ANSWER:
The first animal to go into space was a dog. Its name is LAIKA.
EXPLANATION:
Laika was a Russian dog. The scientists in Russia selected street dogs because they would survive in hot as well as cold conditions.
She paved way for the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin to land on the moon in July 20, 1969.
About three dogs were trained.
The word "Laika" came from a Russian word which means: Barker in Russian language.

▪︎ The Soviet Sputnik II probe carried the first animal, Laika, a mixed breed Russian Dog to the space and orbit the Earth. Sources said that Laika died within hours from overheating, possibly caused by a failure of the central R-7 sustainer to separate from the payload.
