...Thank You so much for the finest harness in the world! Excellent quality, I think the harness will last forever. My dog de Bordeaux obviously likes it too; the very first time she saw it, she wanted to put it on. While walking with the harness on, she not once tried to pull. She certainly knows how to carry it with dignity. And she is only 11 months old :) Please keep up the good work, warm regards from Finland
