A rat ratted on me - no, I mean a real rat!

Its totally possible. I once saw a documentary about how rats were running a 3-star Michelin restaurant.

“Most of us are familiar with the vest-clad beagle that hunts for illegal fruits and plants in the travelers’ luggage at airports.”
I was watching a TV show on those beagles one evening.
The next day I went to work at the veterinary school and who was there?
Those very beagles I saw on TV.
There was a canine olfaction lab they were going to probably to get their sniffers calibrated.

despite their somewhat terrifying name, really only grow to be about 750 mm (about 2.5 ft) long from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail, with the tail taking up about half that length.A 2 1/2 foot rat is a damn big rat, even if most of that is their tail. I don't find that reassuring.

I’m going to make a quick trip to Costco to pick up some Pangolin scales before hoarders get them all.

Who ever would have thought that a rat could be useful?

I know, but living in tick country makes me wonder what purpose there was in the first place.

The pangola scales at Costco are blade tenderized. It says so right on the label.

Cute, I reckon...
How about training them to eat the smugglers?
