LAÏ KA ( Guillaume Blanchet)

Laïka was a Russian female dog. She also was picked to be the first earthling ever sent to space in 1957, aboard Sputnik II. What history often forgets is that the poor bitch died in the process. Need a more cheerfull story In April 2009, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of a true montrealer bar. A bar named after the adventurous and mourned dog :). In order to promote this event, Guillaume asked the owner of the bar to give him ten of those match boxes that he had proudly import from Japan. One box for each year. Thats how things got started.
