The Digger jingle went as follows: "Digger the dog, digging he goes with you when you explore, just pull his leash and go for a walk, he's your dog for sure!" I remember the jingle so well because I used to tease my German shepherd/black Lab dog (Max, 1994-2006) with the jingle just before going for a walk, since "leash" and "walk" were two of his "magic words" that got him hyper! A link to a YouTube video (Captain Kangaroo) is coming along with this post (in the links section) - a complete Digger commercial is at 1:56 in the clip.

I've been singing that song since the eities. Still love it "Where ya going Timmy? Walkin Digger ma"

STILL HAVE DIGGER IN MY PARENTS ATTIC. LOVED HIM.

my brother loved his digger dog so much that he eventually earned the nickname of digger - which he still maintains to this day. we named our puggle puppy digger in his honor - and our little digger dog follows in the footsteps of this beloved beagle toy from the 80's - walking with his nose to the ground and his tail end up in the air...too cute

Any ideas for a replacement tail? With three boys, Diggers tail is long gone!

Had one of these and ended up in the garage for years. My mom convinc ed me to get it to the little girl across the street when I got to old for it.

My uncle tied the string attached to Digger to my grandmothers chiuaua's collar. when she started to walk the Digger followed. When she started to run the Digger followed. She got so scared and was running all over the house, everyone was trying to catch her. When my aunt who had just gotten dressed for work reached down to pick the dog that was running to her up. The dog crapped all over her and her work uniform. My uncle (her brother) stood back with a smirk on his face singing, "digger the dog, just pull the leash ..." I'll never forget good ol Digger.
