Summary "The Day of the Dog" by Anderson Horne is a science fiction novella published in the mid-20th century. The story takes place in a contemporary setting, featuring a couple navigating the Caribbean while dealing with the consequences of a failed satellite mission. The likely topic centers around the mysterious outcome of the manned satellite mission and its implications, particularly focusing on the unexpected and bizarre phenomenon surrounding the dog Laika, which leads to unsettling explorations of life, science, and disaster. The narrative follows Bill and Carol Anderson, who, during their sailing trip, discover the remains of a dog believed to be from a Russian satellite that had been launched years prior. As they inspect the remains, they realize that the dog's body is undergoing a strange transformation, ultimately exhibiting plant-like growths. The situation escalates as they attempt to alert authorities, revealing the potential threat of this bizarre cellular reaction. As they race against time to warn scientists about the unfolding horror, the novella explores themes of scientific curiosity, unintended consequences of experimentation, and the fragility of human understanding in the face of the unknown.
