I saw a news story about rats being trained in Tanzania to search for people under rubble. These animals have sharp hearing and an excellent sense of smell. I just don’t remember the exact breed of these rats. I really like these animals!

Is not a breed, is a different species. Giant pouched rats from the African rainforests. Not even in the same family as the domestic rats.
