Of course.

I was looking up info on Baker, who outlasted a good many of the human astronauts.

They deserve a monument just as much as the humans. At least that's my opinion.

"Today, Laika again captures the hearts of people with a monument to her erected 40 years after her spaceflight by the Russians to honor fallen cosmonauts at Star City outside Moscow. The likeness of Laika can be seen peeping out from behind the cosmonauts in the monument.

Laika also is remembered on a plaque at the Moscow research center where she was trained. "

I think we had best work on something more significant to remeber them by.

I never quite understand the significance of erecting statues to animals. As if they care.

ditto the dead, and all historical figures.

Monuments are for the living people, to help them remember what was done to get them where they are.
