Restraint
From DwarfFortressWiki
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. Chained dogs placed near the entrance to your fort will catch kobold thieves that can bypass traps and other passive defenses.
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.
