Tyson
was given to me as a birthday present. At first I was a little
reluctant to pick him up, so I kind of just sat talking to him while he
sat in his cage. After about two days, Tyson learned his name, and
whenever I said "Tyson," he would come running to me from his cage. I
scooped him up right away! Since then, he has learned how to come when
called, shoulder-climb, stand on his back two legs, and find just about
any kind of treat in my house! He is the most amazing pet I've ever
had. He plays chase with my pet rabbit, who is named Tango, plays all
sorts of games with me, and will crawl into the laps of anyone he meets
and will fall to sleep while they pet him. For this reason, Tyson
changes every single person's view on rats when he meets them! Tyson
has been the most ideal pet anybody could have (rats are often compared
to dogs, what with their personalities and their smarts!). Because of
Tyson, I will have pet rats for the rest of my life, and I owe it all to him!
