The police station at Bryon Bay, Australia, has a sheep in the yard as a lawn trimmer.
Its name? Bob.
Well, Ali might get it. For everyone else:
Pre-1966, Australia used non-decimal currency, including a shilling, which (a) had a picture of a merino sheep on one side and (b) was referred to as a "bob". There you go.
One night some rapscallion abducted Bob from his yard. The cheek! He was safely returned.
Then Bob grew old and passed away. His replacement?
Two Bob, of course.
