“Fetch” by David Moles
--at www.strangehorizons.com
This story could very well bring you to tears. A kind of historical outlook on the space program, focused on the first dog in space launched up by the Russians. “Fetch” takes the familiar Apollo 13 idea and puts animals in place of people, and by doing this breeds an entirely different story.
The first chimpanzee in space orbiting the earth to save a Russian dog. Only in the hastiness of this rescue mission, mistakes have been made and we find the chimp must make decisions of bravery and sacrifice.
This story is highly recommended.
