That's not even a joke. Take a look at this huge list of dogs that Soviet Union sent to the outer space :) https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%BA...

There is also a joke about this.

Since the spaceship was technically a military vessel there had to be an officer on board during the mission so a Red Army Colonel had been sent in the same mission with Belka and Strelka (the dogs). As it gets into the orbit a radio communication is established with the Flight Control Center.

Center: Belka, come in!

Belka: woof

Center: Transmit the navigation data, over.

Belka: woof, woof!

[The data transmission completes]

Center: Strelka, come in!

Strelka: woof

Center: You need to fire engine #3 for 5 seconds to correct course, over.

Strelka: woof, woof!

[The observation detects engine firing]

Center: Comrade Colonel, come in.

Colonel: Woof!

Center: Don't "woof" at me, feed the dogs and don't touch anything there, over.

Except, of course, it wasn't a colonel, but a Chukcha.

It is almost the same and easier to understand for non-Russians.

I think that a Chukchi could be more intelligent than USSR army colonel :)
