Such great, heart-warming trivia and what a cute, fluffy dog! Thanks for the great story!

Shows that Krushchev had a heart, maybe a weakness for Caroline and Jackie. He and Jack had a mutual respect for one another.

So glad to hear that pushink's mom survived the orbit travel. Unlike poor Laika who simply perished in the air.

rayvan, the key word being "almost." without respect for JFK and thus knowing he meant what he said, worse chaos would have happened. exactly why we need a respected, with a little fear, president to keep the dogs at bay. not Mr. Nice Guy doting on the others in the world.
