I was half expecting the German fire Crew to release the rat from the man hole cover and then send it for trauma counselling, a diet regime and them repatriation to the sewer!

Hi guys, thanks for all the help and support, really enjoying my stay at the rathabilitation centre.

I’d have stamped the dirty little cretin 

Yes, the jackboot would probably fallen if the press weren't there to record their humanity to flash across the world.

My old terrier would have got him out a in a second , well the top half at least ...

Haha. My old mongrel too.

He was a demon for rats, and I can clearly recall the high point of his career. In the half darkness of a late winter afternoon when I heard rats moving around on the grain inside, I once chucked him over the top into a galvanized 20 ton grain bin that fed our barley bruiser. From inside, for about 5 to 8 seconds there were the sounds of frantic action  -  rising dust, and sounds of sliding grain, squeaking, snorting, and the odd yip from the dog. Then all of a sudden - complete and total silence.

Wondering what had happened, I switched on the light and climbed up the ladder and peered over the top to have a look. Six feet below me the dog was standing, tense as a ball, completely surrounded by dead rats and looking around himself for more.

When I later climbed in myself with a fork to get the corpses out, there were 13 of them. 

Edited to include a snapshot of the demon rat killer...
