Music video
The video (Directed by Agata Alexander) features Adelitas Way performing in a remote deserted area near a lake, when a mysterious woman appears from the depths. Frontman Rick DeJesus and the band perform the track with unbridled energy until DeJesus himself is ensnared by her beauty as she literally yanks his chain.{{Cite web|title=Adelitas Way-Dog On A Leash|url=https://www.youtube.com/#/watch?v=AqrNmlK2nog|publisher=YouTube.com|accessdate=September 18, 2015}}
