Abstract: An animal leash includes an attachment strip and a safety handling grip. The attachment strip has an attaching end portion attaching to the animal, and a handling end portion extended from the attaching end portion to an animal owner. The safety handling grip includes a handle body rotatably coupled with the handling end portion of the attachment strip, and an elongated grip handle extended from the handle body for the animal owner to sufficiently and optimally grip on the elongated grip handle, in such a manner that when the animal causes the attachment strip to twist, the handle grip is adapted to rotate with respect to the attachment strip for substantially relieving a twisting force induced on the handling end portion of the attachment strip as a result of the animal movement, so as to avoid potential injury to a corresponding hand of the animal owner.
