ABSTRACT:
A combination animal choke collar and least which includes an elongated, continuous member having a grasping portion on one of its ends, its opposite end being folded upon itself and fastened so as to form a loop which captures a rectangular frame. The handle portion when drawn through the rectangular frame forms a loop which is used as a choke collar and provides a second position. A first, position is provided when the choke collar is in place around the animal's neck, and the leash portion of the member is wrapped around upon itself and held secure by a loop and pile fastener such as VELCRO (tm). This device can be worn by the animal at all times when in its first position and when a person desires control over the animal they simply give a gentle tug on the grasping portion and the device assumes its second position. Also included is a pocket which receives and protects valuable documents such as identification papers pertaining to the animal. Also the device may include a roller around one leg of the square frame to reduce friction and abrasion on the strap and a choking member may be included in the form of one-half of a rubber ball which lies against the wind pipe the animal when the device is in a leash or second position.
