Ben.
The book "Willard" was written by Stephen Gilbert. It was published in 1968 and tells the story of a man named Willard and his special relationship with a rat named Ben.
Abraham Lincoln had a lot of pets, and some were unusual pets but he did not have a pet rat.
It was originally written for a film called 'Ben' a sequel to the film 'Willard' - the song is about a pet rat that turns evil and kills humans.
silly person who wrote this, he had a mouse named Robert george geisel
it was a rat named scabbers
Yeah, a big black rat, named Rattata
no, but he has a pet dog named sam.
His pet rat was named Ben and he made a song about him too.
Not sure he had a pet rat. He did sing the title song "Ben" for a movie about a rat, but he didn't star in the movie.--> I remember an interview with Michael Jackson's family. I believe it was Michael's mother who, in said interview, talks about the song Ben and the fact that Michael used to have a pet rat himself. Don't know what the name of that pet rat was though...He did not write the song. It was written by Don Black and Walter Scharf for the 1972 movie "Ben", a sequel to a movie "Willard". The track was initially intended for Donny Osmond. If he had a rat named Ben, it had no ties to the song other than to be named after it. There is a lot of media spin by the family and I doubt much of it is to be believed.
You can get a pet rat from most pet stores.
He used to have a pet rat and a chinchilla named Chichi, but both have passed away.
I don't have a pet rat!
