Layka, the Dog of the Day
Name: Layka
Age: 1.7 years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dachshund
Home: Givataim, Israel
 
   This princess's name is Layka, which means "barking" in Russian and "non-religious woman" in Italian. It's also the name of the first dog in space! She live in Israel, and she's a feisty girl for sure! Layka is very "bagel-y" - she's long and velvet-smooth. Her hobbies are playing fetch, chasing the neighborhood cats, watching rabbits at the local pet-shop, cuddling in our laps and eating pastrami. We got her when she looked like a miniature hotdog but now she's 90 cm long, including tail! She is precious to us!
