Gerd, the pet rat, who was hiding behind a bookcase jumped and landed with all four feet andsharp teeth on the face of one burglar. When Gerd was finished with the first burglar, he jumped on theother burglar’s leg and bit him hard on the leg. The family woke up from all t he screaming and immediatelycalled the police. When the police arrived, they discovered that these two burglars were wanted for manyother burglaries. In Devon, England the Gumbley family was asleep in their home when Fido, an eight-month-old pet rat,smelled smoke in the middle of the night. Instead of running outside to safety, the rat went straight to nine- year- old Megan’s room. He started scratching the door until she woke up and realised that the house was on fire.
