Fortunately, this wasn't a chain. This was a small light weight rope with a lot of give. Had it been a chain, it probably would have snapped my ankle instead of just the rope burn and bruising. We only used it initially after we rescued him, until we knew how he wouldn't run off and to give him a sense of where his boundaries were. It was only used when we were right there with him. Fortunately we never had to use after those first few weeks... well...except at bath time. Then he tries to get out of arms reach. :-)

The worst injury happened after we first rescued him and we were tying him when we went outside until we could determine if he'd take off. One day, I'd just got the hook onto his collar. He saw a chipmunk and bolted. I couldn't move fast enough to get the rope from around my ankle. This was the result (not for the weak of heart :-)

What is cute in a puppy and maybe acceptable with a small poodle (because they can't hurt you as much or be as destructive) is not even a little acceptable in a dog hitting 50 or more pounds with a lot of muscle mass behind them.
