The first sentient being on earth to cross the threshold of our atmosphere into the great unkown of space, was a dog; because man was not brave enough. amirite?

Yep, and we test lipstick on rabbits because there's not a brave enough person on the planet.

Lucky doggo

I am almost sure we shot up some more animals there before that

The dog didn't really get a choice, and died in space after four orbits.

Isn't this a plot for an air bud movie
