Obviously, we in America are buying a few things. In fact, I am waiting for a box with a smile on it to show up at my house as I'm typing this story. My dog broke his leash and I needed a pretty heavy-duty one due to him being a tad strong. He's a St. Bernard. It also needs to have a specific clasp on the end because he has figured out how to get out of a few others I've bought locally. #LittleStinker
