A rat became a national hero in Cambodia.
Magawa spent five years sniffing out landmines left from decades of conflict. He found 71 landmines and 38 unexploded bombs, clearing ground equal to 20 football fields. He became the first rat in history to win the PDSA Gold Medal, an honor that had only ever gone to dogs before him.
He retired and lived out his final years in comfort, remembered as the most successful rat the charity ever trained.
Cambodia carved him a seven-foot statue in stone.
