"So far this is the only lead that has been able to keep my American bully"

— Megan

"Not as heavy duty as they say 3 days of letting her out on it and its broke off at the clip so I now have to buy yet another one:/"

I think for its price and need for heavy duty purpose, it's not good to use by people.
