But so far as I know, he never had a rat pulling the trigger.

Sparky’s Hazard House
Although not as famous as McGruff the Crime Dog, Sparky the Fire Dog has been around for a while.
I am particularly interested in his "house of death by incineration" diorama.
Apparently you can still purchase one from this company.
You might also want their Hazard Farm model.
