An illuminated modular dog leash and collar assembly includes electrically
mated segments connected end-to-end and defining a rectilinear shape.
Each of the segments includes illuminable light-emitting sources housed
therein and connected in sequence, a tubular core, and a sleeve removably
positioned about the core. The sleeve extends along the entire
longitudinal length of the modular segment associated therewith. An
extendable handle is removably attached to the leash and spaced from the
collar, and is adaptable between alternate longitudinal lengths. A
mechanism independently illuminates the light-emitting sources such that
the collar and leash selectively illuminate when the pet becomes
separated from the caregiver beyond a predetermined distance.
