National Purebred Dog Day welcomes the great folks at eFiTDOG as a new sponsor! They have donated four 6’ long soft, braided 1/2 inch thick nylon cord climbing rope leashes with bolt snap clips making these leashes soft, but durable, and lightweight, but tough – ideal for everyday walking and hiking. In keeping with this prize, the theme to this photo challenge is, “This is a Fine Mess” because the wrong leash (or worse, no leash at all) can make a “fine mess” of things if your dog gets tangled up or lost.
