Provided is an animal tethering device for confining an animal to a location
and allowing it to move freely within a prescribed area, while preventing entanglement.
The device includes a central shaft through which a spool is rotatably and retractably
attached. The device also includes a housing which may resemble a sports ball or
other desired ornamental design. The device provides optimum rotation by allowing
forces in the horizontal plane, and also offers maximum strength in the entire
spool assembly.
