成長するペット市場

1) leash
Another word for leash is lead, because one of the things you
do with the leash is lead an animal.

2) leash law
In the U.S., also there is always great discussion of leash laws.
leash laws tend to be at very local levels and they tell pet
owners how they need to restrain their pets out in public. So
the dog owners don't like leash laws because they like the
animals to be as free as possible. But people who don't own pets
are often very strong supporters of leash laws. Because they
don't like strange pets, especially dogs wandering around the city.

3) chunk
A chunk is a piece or a part or a share but it also includes the
idea of a larger kind of a piece.

4) tote
Tote is a verb that means carry something and it's not something
heavy but it's not something really really light either, something
extra that you are carrying. So tote also becomes a tote bag a
kind of bag for carrying things around. People often take tote
bags when they're going shopping or to put picnic supplies in
when they are going on a picnic. A handbag is usually the kind of
bag that a woman carries everyday. For handbag or often called a
purse as well.
