Mans NEW best friend?
We already knew about the giant rats who sniffed land mines, but now in Tansania they are learning to sniff out tuberculosis bacteria in saliva samples.
Read all about it HERE.
Rats are not just vermin anymore. For hundreds of
people around the world they are family members, just like the cats, dogs and hamsters of the world.
Rattitude hopes to help get rid of rattieism in the world and show just how great rats can be.
Thanks for taking time to stop and read and I hope I spread some rat goodwill.

Ooo my how cute!
Maybe, being smaller, they can go more places than dogs. that is very cool indeed.

Wow that’s unusual! It’s amazing just how great rats truly are - If only more people loved them as we do

Rats are fantastic animals, no matter what they are used for. I love them to be simply pets. I also wrote a book about rats ” A Rat’s Tale” by Heidi Jackson ( there were several others written before me). Check it out, it’s really cute, definitely different. (tatepublishing.com/bookstore and also on ebay)
