Who is more intelligence rats or mice?

Answer 1

Rats are undoubtedly intelligent, able to solve mazes and simple tasks given by humans. They have been shown to be smarter than pigeons, and can learn many tricks that dogs do like sitting up and playing fetch. Yet dogs can accomplish many more tricks and in have also been known to learn human faces among other signs of intelligence.

When asking the question, "which is better", you must consider how much money, time and energy you will be able to spare for your pet. Rats will not be as taxing on these resources as a dog. A dog can protect your home from intruders, open and close doors, fetch a beer from the fridge, and find lost items... but they can also be smellier, messier, and more destructive than rats (though far less likely to chew through a mains cable and set fire to your home).

Rats are easier to take care of, less demanding of your time and energy, and can be kept in a smaller space. They can be toilet-trained, and are generally quite clean - though you must take some responsibility for regularly providing clean material for them, removing waste, and for cleaning their living area.

Rats are not much good at playing catch, chase, or fetch.

Dogs are among the most intelligent animals on the planet - thanks in no small part to many generations of selective breeding aimed at enhancing such favourable qualities. They demonstrate social intelligence, learning behaviour, and theory of mind only previously studied in humans and higher-order apes.

However, dogs require plenty of attention and care, and need to be regularly exercised - daily walks are a must, but more intensive exercise at least once a week will help to ensure the health and longevity of your dog. Dogs enjoy being given purpose, and are happy to please their master. They thrive on learning new tricks - the more you get them to do, the happier they will be.

Dogs are known to greatly improve the morale and recovery prospects of the seriously ill, and dog owners suffer less from depressive disorders than other people. No other animal would make such an appropriate guide for the blind, or helper for those with disabilities - and statistically, they make the best companions for the lonely.

...but determining the best pet for anyone relies on too many factors and opinions to be easy - just consider how different these animals are! It might be far better to get a rat for a young child than to expect them to live up to the responsibilities of dog ownership!
