Historically, dogs haven’t fared very well in outer space. Although the fact was covered up until much later, the most famous of the Russian pups, Laika, almost certainly died within a few hours of going into orbit. The (collective) cosmodogs got a stamp devoted to them:
And Laika got a statue:
Cold comfort, I say. And I suspect so would they.
Therefore, it is with a great deal of trepidation that I viewed Frankie’s latest adventures as a spokesdog for Am I Boring My Dog:
I hopes yer attempt into Space isn’t foiled, Frankie.

used to say dat to his wife, Ariss, when he threatened
to send her into orbit. But I’m not sure.
