Whenever I went for my walks there was a dog that always followed me. As I’m very fond of animals I gave him biscuits and that’s how we became friends. I noticed that everyday at the same time in the morning it used to come near my gate and wait for me. As that time police were catching dogs that did not have collars, I bought a leather collar immediately and the next day before going for a walk put it on him. This way I saved him from being caught by the police by making him wear a Leather Dog Collar. It really is the best.
