Description: Here's a commercial for Digger the dog, a yellow-hatted wind-up pooch from the good folks at Romper Room. Among his traits is the ability to walk five feet when you pull his string - er, leash.
Ending voiceover by ??
"Just pull his leash, and go for a walk / He's your dog, for sure."
This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, December 12th 1975 during the 12:00pm to 1:00pm timeframe.

Haven't seen this since it was first broadcast, yet remembered it instantly as soon as it started. I wish I knew why part of my brain that could be storing Tennyson poetry or the birthdays and anniversaries of close friends has decided, "No, we're going to hold onto this Digger the Dog commercial instead."

I had Digger. Why I had a fake dog when I had two dogs (one of which I could walk as a child)is something that makes no sense.

They had a version you could ride, his name was Sherlock.
