1. An animal tethering, assistive cane, and personal defense combination device comprising:
a housing defining an interior space;
a leash coupled to the housing and positioned in the interior space, the leash being retractable type such that a cord of the leash is selectively extensible from the housing through an aperture positioning a user for coupling the cord to a domestic animal for leashing the domestic animal;
a pole coupled to and extending from the housing, the pole comprising a plurality of nested sections such that the pole is selectively extensible wherein the pole is configured for assisting in mobility of the user;
a stun gun coupled to the pole distal from the housing wherein the stun gun is configured for administering an electrical shock to an attacker for incapacitating the attacker;
a power module coupled to the housing and positioned in the interior space:
a microprocessor coupled to the housing and positioned in the interior space, the microprocessor being operationally coupled to the power module; and
the stun gun comprising a voltage multiplier and a pair of electrodes, the voltage multiplier being operationally coupled to the microprocessor such that the microprocessor is positioned for selectively actuating the power module for supplying electrical current to the voltage multiplier, the pair of electrodes extending from the voltage multiplier such that the pair of electrodes terminates at a tip of the pole wherein the pair of electrodes is configured for delivering the electrical shock from the voltage multiplier to the attacker for incapacitating the attacker; and
a plurality of light emitting diodes coupled to the cord, the plurality of light emitting diodes being operationally coupled to the microprocessor such that the microprocessor is positioned for selectively operationally coupling the plurality of light emitting diodes to the power module for illuminating the cord.
