Years ago there were on sale dog leads that were rigid,with a collar attached.
It really looked as if you had an invisible dog on a lead!
Teenagers were walking all over Bury with them.
Now if I can find mine ,and am stopped and pulled in by the boys in blue (or black )I will swear blind again that only intelligent people can see dogs of the particular breed I am walking.( can’t think of a breed off hand ).
Should ask great grandson ,they are moving to a new Grumbelow,you know a house with no upstairs.
Well the sun is shining, we have just had delicious fish and chips and are off to the cemetery to feed the birds soon.
Perhaps the dog I will claim is on the lead is a Gruffalo.
