Rat-Catcher From Department 56 Collection

As someone who has kept rats as pets and who is familiar with their more enduring qualities I was initially offended by a piece celebrating the capture of this very misunderstood animal. But then I learned a little about The Rat-Catcher. His job it seems is to FEED the rats who hang out at a local crypt. Hey can I have his job? So now when people ask me Why a Rat-Catcher Christine? I am anxious to explain. He's one of the good guys and deserves a place of honor in my collection.
