You'll have to click on this image to see it in full size since it's very tall. In the United States, NASA shot chimps into space before sending a human up. I guess in Russia pigs took the seat before Yuri. They were more nervous than their human comrades since the ground crew had to load them up with some kind of wine or vodka to relax them for their flight.
From the looks of the photos, I think it was a short ballistic flight for Porky and probably didn't get his astronaut wings. But Brian the bat didn't either...
