Episode 227 – Unsung Animal Heroes

This podcast started out as a tribute to several groups of animals routinely doing some very important work who often get overlooked. The bulk of the podcast still addresses that topic, but I also riff a bit about the unsung relationship between cats and rats and other rodents which benefits us humans as much as it benefits them.

For those interested in more information about the more traditional heroes discusses, here’s a nice article about Beagle Brigade from Bark Magazine. And you can admire the work of those rats trained to locate land mines (among other things) in this video clip from The Wall Street Journal.
