We've had a garbage goat in Spokane, WA since the 1974 World's Fair.

Lest we forget the trash-eating goat in "America's backyard," Spokane, Washington!!!!

Here's a video of it in action!

Yay Spokavegas!
Lord help whoever misinterprets the instructions for this goat and, instead of putting his losing tickets in it, ends up feeding the goat his hard-earned money instead...
Why do the floor tiles appear to be superimposed on the goat's fur?
Reminds me of the Holle Bolle Gijs trashcans at the Efteling theme park in Holland. These talking character trashcans have kids running up to you and begging to throw your trash away. It's the cleanest theme park in the world!
Losboats: Thanks for the Spokane Garbage Goat video! I grew up in Spokane, and I can't wait to subject all my friends here in Hamburg to its awesomeness.
@Joe Felice: The camera picked up the reflection of the floor in the window between the camera and the goat. The window is transparent, even with reflections, so it appears like the floor is drawn over the goat.
