Sometimes you need to put your improvising skills to the test.

Redditor i_browse_at_work was running late for his job this morning, and was unable to find his dog's leash, so he came up with a clever solution to walking his pug with a makeshift leash.

If you can't find your leash just carry around a half-eaten bag of Doritos -- your dog will surely forget all about its newfound freedom.
