It would be more of the tourist being naive than any similarities. the whole bone structure is different as well as the tail (Which I hope you know is completely different in it's appearance and movements). Giant rats look more like a bunny than a dog. A capybara is also the largest rodent in the world that many people call a "giant rat" but they look more pig/boar like. There was even a huge documentary on Discovery channel about giant rats if you want to look for that or rent it. Although, as I said their appearances are no where near confusing with a dog, plus rats are alike nicer than a chihuahua hahaha.

You can tell by the lighting and the unproportional ear size of the so called rat. This is a joke; there is no such thing as sewer rats that are this big. This site has no merit, credentials, or sources of any kind. I am fairly certain that the above rat/ Chihuahua picture is falsified.
