Yes, maybe you have a point there. However, did the dogs have freedom of 
movement or were the tied down? Were they together at all, that may have 
been dangerous - they could bite each other?

Anyway, I found the source of the pictures.  They were published in a book 
called "Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, first man in space" by Wilfred Burchett and 
Anthony Purdy, from 1961 by Panther Books and the picture strip is 
explicitly said to depict one of the dogs from Korabl-Sputnik-2.
