I've been there before, but I realized that I should take pictures and share the awe I feel when I go by.
Found at Shady Lane Antique Mall just south of Terre Haute, Indiana

It already happened. It's already helped shape you as a person.
In what way?
You're literally talking about wanting to look at things you wished you'd had as a kid.
And? If my friend had a dog that I really liked and I wished I had a dog as a kid and someone showed me a picture of that dog, I'd really like seeing it. Have I been brainwashed by Big Dog?
So you're just gonna act obtuse now?
I'm not acting obtuse. I don't see the difference between childhood nostalgia for a dog and childhood nostalgia for a toy. What's the difference?
Did a marketing campaign manufacture your desire for a dog?
You mean other than all the movies, TV shows and even commercials that show people with loving dogs?
Yes, I did grow up with Lassie and Benji and I remember marketing campaigns for movies for both.
