... And died after seven hours in space.

She was a hero because she was disposable; some aspiration.

How many of us, as kids, idolized someone with only a childs understanding of WHY? I'm sure, based on everything we already know about the depth of this story, that the final fate of Laika and the probability that within this world, THIS Laika probably had no more choice in the roll given to her than the real world dog did will come to light.
I suspect that Laika's inspiration of Raine at such an impressionable age will have a similar effect to the real world children inspired by sports figures or characters on TV or in the movies. They grow up emulating their imagined heroes only to discover that the real life people were steroid pumping egotists or no more than fictional characters played by apathetic actors. It happens all the time.
That, or maybe Raine will discover that her childhood hero was likely forced against her will to die for a cause not her own, and that may steel her to fight for dog's rights as is hinted upon in the prologue.
I don't have any secret knowledge of what's going on in Dana's mind, but I know that however Dana takes this story I'm sure that I'll continue to enjoy the journey.

Why is there a huge black block for simply "nom nom"? Was something else written there only to be changed later?

If this is indeed a graphic novel as DCS has said, at one "page" a week, we could be looking at THIS for 20+ years.Most comics don't become this bloody boring until they've already been around for 20+ years.
It also seems that Princess was RD's "slave name". UGH. I'd change it too.
So far, this strip wants me to give it to MY dog to nom on.

although I understand why Raine liked Laika THEN, I don't understand why she still does. Most of the heroes that I thought "whoa cool" about as a child, I know figure "meh, lame." or something to that extent. Laika wouldn't be much of a hero, since she wasn't a sentient dog like they are now. she was just an unaware creature sent into space against her will

Declassified documents that surfaced after the collapse of the soviet union suggest that she died in under an hour due to stress.... And died after seven hours in space.
Also, this comic is boooring.
