Note: Mentol's camera was broken and she could not make a time-lapse video of Liberty the GOAT's creation. We did find our inspiration video below.

People ask us where we came up with the idea for Liberty the Goat. We have always loved animals and believe that they should be helped for all they do for us. When Bethany was little, she bought a back flip dog she called Liberty from Five Below.

 

It broke and she made a wheel chair for it.

 

Five Below thought it was so cool that they sent her a gift card, t-shirt and bag.

 

Note: she just found the original Liberty in our basement. His batteries still work. Cool.

​

Here is the email they sent to Bethany:

Dear Dennis (for Bethany),

 

Thank you so much for writing in and sharing that video with us!

 

I think your daughter has a VERY bright future ahead of her – I absolutely LOVE IT!   If you wouldn’t mind, would you send me her name & mailing address?  For her hard work and creativity (and also for the broken puppy), I would love to send her a $25 Five Below gift card!

 

I cannot wait to share the video with my office on our return to work on Monday.

 

Thank you,

K.D.
