Mark managed to unleash his tugging dogs

Hi,

Does "unleash" mean to take the leash off the dog's neck or untie the leash from an object, say, a post?

Mark drove his car overflowing with dogs. With some difficulty Mark managed to unleash his tugging dogs, and in another moment they were hot on the fox's trail.


Thank you very much.

stephenlearner Does "unleash" mean to take the leash off the dog's neck or untie the leash from an object, say, a post? The description doesn't mention any post or anything like that. I suppose it is feasible that the dogs were tied to something in or on the vehicle, but, in any case, "unleash" presumably means that the leashes were taken off the dogs' necks (not precluding that the other ends of the leashes were also untied from something).
