The 35-second long video shows that rat grabbing the bowl using its mouth and pulling it away. The rodent then stops and starts to drag the bowl again. Sarah Peele's tweet soon went viral with several Twitterati lauding the rat's "dedication" and choice of "healthy food".

Kathleen O'Mara tweeted, "Salad Rat just gentrified my neighborhood." Another Twitter user wrote, "God, even rats have to live up to unrealistic beauty standards."

"Well, it's the Year of the Rat, she probably has awards shows to attend with gowns she has to fit into...," wrote another.

It was followed by Twitter user Molly Jong-Fast stating - "This rat is bigger and smarter than my dog."
