Rat Magawa, awarded gold medal for landmine sniffing in Cambodia, dies
A rat, who was awarded a gold medal for his heroism for sniffing landmines and bombs in Cambodia, has died. Magawa helped clear mines equivalent to 42 football pitches over his five-year-long career. He would cover an area the size of a tennis court in 20 minutes, something that would take a person with a metal detector four days.
