"Mine-sniffing rat Magawa ends years of hard work in Cambodia"

"PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - After five years of sniffing out land mines and unexploded ordnance in Cambodia, Magawa is retiring."

"The African giant pouched rat has been the most successful rodent trained and overseen by a Belgian nonprofit, APOPO, to find land mines and alert his human handlers so the explosives can be safely removed. Last year, Magawa won a British charity's top civilian award for animal bravery - an honor so far exclusively reserved for dogs."

THE GIANT GAMBIAN POUCHED RAT PE3RFORM "YEOMAN" SERVICE. MINE DETECTION, AN OCCUPATION MOST ARDUOUS AND DANGEROUS.,

"yeoman's/yeoman work/service - US: very good, hard, and valuable work that someone does especially to support a cause, to help a team, etc."

All thanks to Magawa and also take into consideration that Magawa worked for peanuts too. Literally.
