The Goat Who Thought He Was a Dog, Version 6

Little Francie had a goat who thought he was a dog. He was out digging a hole for a bone one day, but unfortunately, Little Francie's lawn was contaminated with mercury due to a nearby smelter. The goat died from mercury poisoning, but his death served a greater purpose, for that was how the town found out about the mercury. They sued the state. That goat saved the whole town. They erected a statue of that goat in the square and changed the name of their town to Goatsville.
