<p>Some interesting pet-related history and trivia from this day in history (November 3). Do you have any memories to share related to these events?</p>
<p>1956-- And your little dog, too! Toto (and the rest of the Yellow Brick Road adventurers) appears on CBS-TV for the first national television broadcast of The Wizard of Oz.</p>
<p>1957-- Laika, a Russian stray dog from the streets of Moscow, becomes the first Earthling in space when she is launched as a dog cosmonaut aboard Sputnik II. (See my blog entry "Laika's Legacy" at http://www.wagnbrag.com/?page=blogs/view&BLID=2628 for more on this topic.)</p>
