This month for Tigard Reads we're celebrating all things space. BookTRON just met and discussed Laika, the first living Earth creature to be sent into space. So by now you all now that, as with most books that prominently feature a dog, Laika's story does not end well. At least not for Laika, though she does represent one of the giant steps human-kind took in order to reach the moon and beyond. So, what if Laika's fate had been different? Author/artist Nick Abadzis couldn't resist imagining a few alternate endings. Take a look. It may make you feel better.
