i just read the post on Misty the ferret who worked for the US space
command.  She was named after another Misty who worked during the Vietnam
war and was posthumously awarded the congressional medal of honor this
year.Misty the first squeezed through conduit pipe and small tunnels and
was trained to chew through detonation wires.Disconnecting bombs saved the
lives of many soldiers.  her reward was also --strawberry poptarts--it's
true folks -I heard it on Public radio news in NYC
