Depends on the breed of dog I'd guess. Say a Schnauzer, you'd be good to go. Great Dane, hahahahah, no way dude!

How well do you sew? 20 kN well?

Probably not a good idea.

Will it work to make a sling? sure.
Will that sling hold any significant force? Not likely.

It's your life your playing with, don't sell it too cheaply. (and think of how stupid _that_ accident report would sound.)
