Illegals crossing the border into the U.S. would be great at it as well....although harder to train I s'pose :-) Probably work for less than the rat does though.

Just use Muslims...they have bigger feet and can "get rid of" the mines also....Payoff for them is 72 virgins....

Actually the rat is too small and light to set off a landmine, unlike a dog which is still big enough to set one off. The rat simply sniffs out a mine and scratches the earth the mine is buried under to show where it is.

I was reading about this online one day, I think these herorats are a great idea. Keep up the awesome work guys and rats!
