Abstract: A dispenser for candy or other objects that is formed in the shape of an animal. Any large animal body can be used. The body of the animal is hollow and acts as a storage bin for the candy or other dispensing material. A hole is formed in the rear, lower portion of the body. A sliding gate that covers the hole to prevent the dispensing items from being dispensed is used to operate the dispenser. The head is attached to the body at a pivot point. The sliding gate is attached to the head. When the head is lifted, the sliding gate is pulled forward, which opens the hole that allows a number of candy pieces or other items to be dispensed. Pushing down on the head slides the gate back, covering the hole, and preventing further dispensing. A spring can be installed between the head and the body to pull the head down, ensuring that the gate returns to its closed position, ready for the next operation.
