40d:Restraint

A restraint is a chain or rope which is used to restrain a dwarf or other creature. Unlike the cage, the restraint can only hold one creature, and the creature can move within a range of one tile of the restraint in all directions (even up and down, even through solid floor(still?).

Restraints can be used to keep a war dog or other animal near areas where you need constant vigilance and defense. However, a bug will cause the animals to break off when chasing an enemy (good) or when they see their trainer (bad).^[Verify]

If your fortress is above ground, or exists in a location without rock, ropes or bags sewn with images can be a way of recording your fortress' history instead of stone detailing. When built as restraints (or containers, for bags), Dwarfs can admire them, so they can function as makeshift Tapestries.
