Magawa, an African giant pouched rat, received a PDSA gold medal for his superior landmine exploding skills (Credit: Apopo.org)

A rat may seem like an unlikely candidate to receive a gold medal for bravery and devotion to duty. However, six-year-old African giant pouched rat Magawa, who was honored with British Veterinary Charity PDSA's highest animal award on September 25, 2020, is no ordinary rodent. Over the past five years, the "HeroRAT" has saved hundreds of lives by detecting 39 landmines and 28 unexploded items in Cambodia.

          I just adore him. I have a pet hamster and Magawa kind of reminds me of her. I never would have thought that people would give a rat that kind of job, but I guess I thought wrong!

            One thing I learned from reading this is that rats can be really brave to.
