A leash is a tool for keeping your pets close to you. A cursed leash cannot be removed and will strangle the pet if it gets too far away (for example, because it hit a teleport trap).

A leash is useful for curse-testing items with the aid of a pet - it makes it possible to drag the pet over the item to see whether it "moves only reluctantly". It can also be used to encourage pets to steal from shops, by dragging them out of the shop while they're still holding an item.
