- Description:
- In this series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips, probably from 1959 or 1960, an unidentified white man, probably a Russian scientist, appears accompanied by a dog and a rabbit. The rabbit is probably Marfusha and the dog is probably Otvazhnaya, animals that took part in the Soviet Union's space program. The clips are set in what appears to be a park, probably in the Soviet Union. In the first clip, the man approaches a bench, holding Marfusha and walking Otvazhnaya on a leash. Otvazhnaya sits on the bench, and the man, still holding Marfusha, sits beside him. The next clips alternate between showing the man seated on the bench, with Marfusha on his lap and Otvazhnaya seated beside him, and showing Marfusha and Otvazhnaya seated on the bench without the man.
