Sticky the famous astro-dog poses in this special publicity shot for the Canadian Space Agency. See their web page at www.asc-csa.gc.ca (That link goes to the English version of the space agency's page).

Click here to see a detail from the above image (200k+ file - space-dog-detail.jpg ) showing the advanced technology pressure seal on Sticky's space helmet.

Sticky actually auditioned for the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" (see picture below) and MGM even started printing posters with Sticky on them, but the astronaut role eventually went to Keir Dullea. The original "Sticky" 2001 posters are rare, and sought after by collectors.
