@precogschizo Rats are smarter than dogs in many ways, but they use rats here because they can go through the minefield without setting off the mines.
@luxenfux Waiting to feed them afterward keeps them motivated, however I've seen where they've started training them with clickers like they train show dogs.

Does this mean that these rats are smarter than dogs?

Pretty cool, but not feeding the rat worker at all - unless it finds mines, is very harsh. These rats need a union.
