Man and Dog Discover Dead Rat in Ottawa’s Experimental Farm

OTTAWA, Aug. 19, 2024 — A man and his dog encountered a dead rat in the middle of the road in the Experimental Farm near the Ottawa Civic Hospital campus. The cause of death was unconfirmed but appeared to be acute trauma from a moving vehicle. Closer investigation was inhibited by excessive interest from the man’s dog. The corpse was left undisturbed while the man and his dog continued their walk. Upon returning to the scene several days later, the corpse had disappeared without a trace.
