Leash Laws

We are lucky to have a "mute" (Malamute). Her name is Nashoba, which is 
Choctah Indian for "Wolf". So naturally we call her "Shobie". Anyway, one 
day, when I was out on a walk with her, she jumped up a bullfrog down by 
the pond, and she wanted it bad!
I said "Shobie, you can't get him, he's in the water!" Anyone that owns a 
Malamute must know how much good that command would mean! The next thing I 
know, I was laying on the bank of the pond, on my back, with Shobie's nylon 
leash raising a whelt on my forehead, after it snapped in two, and popped me, 
from her pulling so hard. Bear in mind that I'm 46 years old and weigh 230 lbs. 
Shobie was 2 years old at that time, and maybe weighed 75 lbs. She's incredibly 
strong, enough so that my wife can't handle her on a walk any more. But she's 
our loyal and faithful friend, independant, but so are we!
