Katie's owner, Sarah Darby, adopted her from a shelter on the Texas-Mexico border, and began mapping where her adorable pup, who is part-Chihuahua and part-rat terrier, caught rats across Park Slope, according to a feature in the New York Times. In November and December of this year, the 12-and-a-half pound, four-year-old soldier caught 71 rats, according to the "Katie's Rats" tracker; her total yearly kill count is close to 500. Darby says Katie isn't at risk, since she does not eat the rats and gets regular vaccinations. (Brooklyn Daily Eagle)
