Sadly we don't appreciate what fine animals rats are.
Was your wild rat some kind of river rat or was it a big brown one like they have in the city. Those brown ones can be nasty and they are not nice looking. Of course when I accidently caught one I ended up releasing it.
The domestic rats are really interesting. I had no idea that the females would work together so well. They share nursing litters together as a group, so the babies are well cared for. I just had no idea that the girls looked after each other so kindly.
