Instead of just digusting ones?

If they can train rats to hunt for land mines, why can't we train ours to hunt for illegal drugs, clear streets from snow, or kill roaches, or stand guard so that we didn't need doormen?

Hero rat Magawa, awarded gold medal for landmine sniffing, dead at 8

That rat is a Gambian Pouched Rat. I saw a rat that look very much like one of those in the Hudson River Park, by 14th Street.

Correction:

We did have Good Rats.
70's Band out of Long Island.

Check out the Coo Coo Coo ......song.
The sax is just too much.....

Getting back to the rodent version of Good Rats.
Yes they exist but our society has for decades seen
them in the most negative of lights.
