Abstract: A simple, strong, and durable animal leash, comprising two elements. The first element is a lead formed of strap material. The second element is a snap link, which is a relatively large link made of aluminum, one side of which is a gate which can pivot inward so as to open the snap link and permit its attachment to a collar or halter. The large open area of the snap link makes it a versatile attachment device which is easy to manipulate. The leash may be attached and used in a multiplicity of ways, and the various sizes of the leash span a wide spectrum of uses.

Abstract: A simple, strong, and durable animal leash is disclosed, comprising two elements. The first element is a lead of woven nylon, with a loop formed in each end, the two loops being equal in size and appropriate for grasping by a person's hand. The second element is a carabiner, which is a relatively large link made of aluminum, one side of which is a gate which can pivot inward so as to open the carabiner and permit its attachment to one or both of the loops and a collar, halter, or harness, thereby providing for simple and convenient attachment of the leash to the animal in a multiplicity of ways.
