A harness for dogs with crippled hindquarters. The harness has a sling for supporting the dog's belly near its hindquarters. A D-ring is mounted on each end of the sling. A rod-like handgrip for a human handler is detachably connected with the D-rings by snap-lock connectors. The inside layer of the sling that contacts the dog's skin comprises a launderable barrier fabric of polyester knit textile. The same material is used on the outside layer, but only near the opposite end-portions likely to contact the skin or clothing of the handler. The mid-portion of the outer layer is of polypropylene since it does not normally contact the handler's skin or clothing. The sling of a second embodiment has a composite strap of nylon and sheepskin.
