My friend had a white domesticated rat he bought from a pet store. It was one of his favorite pets he ever had. Add newborn son. He was letting it run around loose in the same room as his son was in one day (I know he probably shouldn't have) and the rat bit the a little chunk of the tip of his tongue off. He heard him his son crying and came into the room. He saw the rat in his son's face, picked it off and was so upset he threw it against the wall. He really didn't mean to but he was upset, you know. He felt bad about it as it was a pet that had served him well to that point so he took it to the vet. The vet said that he probably smelled the milk on the baby's breath and that he saw things like that happen before. Long story short, he got rid of the rat. So much for domesticated animals.
