Abstract: The present invention relates to a two part quick connect-quick disconnect connector, which includes two parts, identified as a first part or “grabber” and a second part identified as a “dangle”. More specifically, the grabber is the female portion of the device, and is attached to a leash, for example. The dangle is the male portion of the device and may be attached to an animal collar. At least one of the grabber and the dangle may contain a permanent magnet, which aligns and initially attracts the two components to be joined together. The dangle is pulled into a cavity of the grabber, at which point two spring-loaded claws grab hold of the dangle securely. To release the device, a button or slide is pressed, which opens the jaws and allows the two components to be separated.
