A remotely operable quick release is provided that may be placed between a collar or harness to release an animal or object. A nylon strap with a D-ring on one end attaches to a holding device. On the other end supports a flip latch attached to a harness. The release mechanism on the top of the strap includes a push pull piston solenoid. A metal slider urged by the solenoid holds prevents the flip latch from releasing. When the solenoid is activated the piston and slider pull back to release the flip latch. The solenoid is operated with a wireless remote control receiver transmitter key fob. When the button is push it activates the solenoid which pulls the piston and slider back to free the flip latch. Resetting the flip latch is accomplished by pushing down on the slider and allowing the piston to slide forward to re-engage.
