Abstract: A rotatable animal tethering device made up of a flat bed having a plurality of legs which are driven into the ground. The bed has a circular opening to receive a collar which is fixed on a center stake which is also driven into the ground. The lower side of the bed is closed by a plate which, however, has a central orifice therein through which the stake is driven until such time as the collar is received within the circular opening of the bed and in engagement with the lower plate. The upper end of the stake is threaded so as to receive the collar. A tube is designed to be threaded onto the upper end of the stake and a cylinder has a telescoping fit over the tube so as to be rotatable thereabout. The cylinder has a lug to which the tether of the animal may be secured. The cylinder is freely rotatable about the tube and lateral forces generated by the pull of the animal will be in part absorbed by virtue of the collar and its fit within the bed.
