I wonder if I can get one of these


From Associated Press:

BOGOTA, Colombia - Police in Colombia are training two whiskered, red-eyed rats, to sniff out bombs and land mines.

The rodents are part of an experimental six-rat squadron that police are preparing for dangerous missions to defuse the more than 100,000 land mines

To earn their stripes, the rats have spent the past year undergoing a daily training regimen in which they are placed in a maze with C-4 explosives and other bomb-making materials. When they detect the target, they're rewarded with a cracker.

A cracker.
...

The little suckers have heart, I'll give 'em that.
Teach 'em to swordfight, and I'll buy two dozen.
