With my clients and friends of the dog paw pendant arrived always super! It is beautifully finished and an eye-catcher. Most, however, I have been working a strong leather strap with sturdy clasp made of stainless steel with a case one of the dogs but times come when bend over in the chain. One should see the paw as followers alone when buying. Definitely worth a purchase, even for "velvet paws" So cat lovers!
