do you know we love you, laika? from a million miles away? though we did not treat you right i really wished you’d stayed

i hope you know they loved you before they sent you with no cause and now you’re free to wander with stars between your paws

i hope your body’s laced with stardust your mind, your fur, your heart i hope you know we loved you to the end, from the start

the universe is yours to roam the galaxy your turf i hope you play with the comets that i see from here on earth

does sirius keep you company? a dog-star of your own and does ursa guard you sleeping in space where you were thrown

it’s not fair how we treated you you didn’t ask to fly and i just hope you aren’t lonely way up there in the sky

and i hope you burnt out quickly that you weren’t in any fear but i know that it isn't true and i wish you were still here

does it help to know we love you they kept hope within a lie some thought we could bring you back but we sent you there to die

i know that you were scared then i know you were alone but i hope you saw the stars and thought they looked like home

and i know you didn’t make it you had no epilogue but i know i miss you laika no knowledge is worth a dog

Little collage I made for Laika Day - I hope you enjoy

Laika Poem - Booker W.

[lovelylittlelaika]

didn’t know it was laika day… I did a whole collage and screenprint about her a few years ago for a printmaking class I took. feel free to use this for any backgrounds or anything you want, i spent a lot of time and frustration and emotion on it that I don’t think were recognized by my peers. love you laika

“If something happened we could send a signal, so that Laika would be put out of her misery in a few seconds. They say it was planned that way, but I don’t believe in it. It didn’t happen. And Laika died on her own, a slow and painful death, lasting around two and a half hours.”
