The idea here is to have a little vinyl dog to feed your quarters to. The hole in the back of the mouth, instead of being slotted, should be oval for a more realistic look. His head is hinged, so the coins don't come pouring out if he falls off a shelf. You have to tip the head back to let the coins drop down into his tummy. You can easily get your money out of his bottom (kind of gross in concept, but hey, he did eat them), since it would have the typical rubber plug you'd find in a bank. I see this as a big vinyl toy, 6-8" tall.
