ABSTRACT:
A hand grip for an animal leash includes a single length of material stitched to create a first encircling band for reception of an individual's thumb and a second band for encircling the body portion of the individual's hand. The second band has a major portion and a minor portion and there is a connection point generally located at the juncture of the major and minor portions. Preferably the connection point is a "D"-ring pivotally secured to the hand grip by a short length of material stitched to the outer surface of the hand grip. A short connection leash attached to the "D"-ring has a swivel clasp at the distal end thereof for attachment to the loop of a regular leash or even directly to an animal's collar. By wearing the hand grip of this invention the individual does not need to use the fingers of a hand to grip the leash and those fingers are now free to hold on to another object such as a bag or a package.
