Laika (Russian). What is the pronunciation? It means 'barker,' according to an article I read about the first animal that orbited in space and also died there.

Laika ... was the first "barker" to die crying in the wilderness of outer space.
If Laika had a tombstone, how would it read?
I barked in the dark so Yuri could light the way to the future.
They told me "Yur in laik it or naut". And I answered the call of duty. [I peed all over the instrument panel.]
