A walking trashcan is a dog who eats anything and everything. Typically puppies that know nothing and are stupid to realize the consequences that might come with eating things they should not.
Typically a walking trashcan eats rocks, grass, dirt, turds, frozen turds, and trash to anything on the ground or in trash bins. Perhaps the yellow snow. Sometimes ends in choking, puking, unnecessary animal vet bills, poisoned or possible death.
The walking trashcan typically does this to make its owner frustrated or just stupid. You pick.
Stop being a walking trashcan!
My dog? Yeah, he's a walking trashcan.
