BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
   1. Field of the Invention 
   The present invention relates to receptacles used to receive and retain discharge from a body and more particularly, relates to a new garment designed to be worn on the body by canines, or the like, for receiving and retaining the discharge of their solid body wastes. 
   2. Description of the Related Art 
   Dogs and other mammals evacuate their intestinal contents anywhere. Not picking up after them causes the deterioration of the environment and problems to public health, mainly due to the spread diseases. Dog owners typically take their pets out for walks to spend time with them, for recreational purposes, and for exercise. These types of activities stimulate the movement of intestinal contractions, causing the movement and the fall of fecal bolus to the exterior with the help of abdominal muscles and the diaphragm. 
   Ideally this fecal matter should not fall to the ground, however after falling to the ground and contaminating the area; it is picked up and thrown to the trash. In most cases however, the fecal matter is not picked up at all. 
   Several designs for receptacles used to receive and retain discharge from a body have been designed in the past. None of them, however, includes a bag assembly secured to a strap assembly, designed to be worn on the body by canines, mammals or the like, for receiving and retaining the discharge of their solid body wastes.

   Other patents describing the closest subject matter provide for a number of more or less complicated features that fail to solve the problem in an efficient and economical way. None of these patents suggest the novel features of the present invention. 
   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
   The instant invention provides a solution to avoid that fecal matter fall to the ground, and to prevent owners from having to pick it up and dispose of it, thus preventing the contamination and the spreading of diseases transmitted by canines and other mammals. 
   The instant invention comprises a bag and strap assembly, which can be entirely made of plastic. Plastic density or thickness of the instant invention varies according to the area of the invention; at the bag assembly, the area of deposit is thinner, and at the accordion, it is slightly thicker. It is noted that the variation of thickness at the different parts of this instant invention allows it to be used and handled better, particularly during the placement and removal of the same. 
   More specifically, the instant invention is an ergonomic receptacle assembly for receiving and retaining fecal discharge of body waste of a canine, comprising a strap assembly designed to securely mount upon the body of a canine such as a dog. The strap assembly is flexible and comprises adjoining first and second buttock walls. Extending upwardly from the first buttock wall is a tail wrap having a fastener. The tail wrap wraps around a tail of the canine as first means for securing the strap assembly to the canine. The tail wrap comprises a hole that aligns with the anus of the canine when the strap assembly is mounted on the canine. The hole has a first rim with engaging means. Extending in a first direction from the first buttock wall is a first tab having a first loop fastener. Extending in a second direction from the first buttock wall is a short strap. The short strap extends to a rump wall. Extending from the rump wall is a second tab having a first hook fastener and third and fourth tabs that have second and third loop fasteners. The short strap extends in the second direction around the tail of the canine until the first tab and first hook fastener align with and secure upon the first loop fastener of the tab, as second means for securing the strap assembly to the canine. Extending downwardly from the lower buttock wall is a rear wall set having long straps that extend therefrom and terminate at first ends. Extending from the first ends are a plurality of hook fasteners separated by a plurality of perforations between each of the hook fasteners. The long straps wrap around the inside thighs of the canine and to the rump, until one of the plurality of hook fasteners aligns with and is secured upon the second and third loop fasteners of the second and third tabs respectively as third means for securing the strap assembly to the canine. 
   The instant invention also comprises a bag assembly shaped in a form resembling a pear and is flexible. It comprises an exterior wall, upper interior wall, and lower interior wall that are joined by side pleats. The side pleats allow for expansion of the bag assembly when filled with fecal matter of the canine. The upper buttock wall rests along the buttocks of the canine and the upper interior wall adheres firmly to the upper buttock wall of the strap assembly. The exterior wall comprises pleats that allow for further expansion of the bag assembly when filled with the fecal matter. The exterior wall further comprises an accordion. The accordion expands when the tail of the canine is raised. The bag assembly also has first and second ends. The first end is narrower than the second end to resemble the pear. The first end faces upwardly and terminates at an area. The second end faces downwardly and terminates at an end. Immediately below the area is a hole having a rim. The bag assembly suspends from the strap assembly, whereby the first rim of the strap assembly having the engaging means, engages the second rim when the first hole and the second hole align. 
   The lower buttock wall further comprises first and second connectors, each having third hook fasteners. The lower interior wall attaches to the third hook fasteners of the connectors. The connectors serve to minimize the separation between the strap assembly and the bag assembly, and minimize any swinging of the bag assembly. Ventilation means include vent tubes protruding from the bag assembly. The vent tubes have sufficient curvature to shapely contour the canine in any position, and comprises ribs to facilitate bending of the vent tubes and holes to allow the ventilation means to reach the anus of the canine for stimulating movement of intestinal contractions. A tail brace may extend from the rump wall and secures on a short tail. 
   It is therefore one of the main objects of the present invention to provide a receptacle assembly for receiving fecal matter of a canine that is anatomically designed to perfectly adapt to the anatomy and physiological necessities of a canine such as a dog. 
   It is another object of this invention to provide a receptacle assembly for receiving fecal matter of a canine that is hygienic and prevents contamination and dissemination of animal diseases from the fecal matter. 
   It is another object of this invention to provide a receptacle assembly for receiving fecal matter of a canine comprising polypropylene in the strap assembly. 
   It is another object of this invention to provide a receptacle assembly for receiving fecal matter of a canine that is easy to mount and remove from the body of the canine. 
   It is another object of this invention to provide a receptacle assembly for receiving fecal matter of a canine that is impervious. 
   It is another object of this invention to provide a receptacle assembly for receiving fecal matter of a canine that contains matter for lab studies.

This allows strap assembly  20  to be adjusted to the size of the canine C. If desired, the remaining plurality of hook fasteners  54  not utilized may be discarded by severing at the desired perforations  55 . 
   In the preferred embodiment, upper interior wall  85  of bag assembly  80 , seen in  FIG. 3 , adheres firmly to the exterior side of upper buttock wall  22  of strap assembly  20 . In use, when the canine C is walking or running and bag assembly  80  has fecal matter within, bag assembly  80  has a tendency to swing forward and backward. Connectors  45  serve to minimize the separation between strap assembly  20  and bag assembly  80 , and minimize any swinging of bag assembly  80 . More specifically, connectors  45  have hook fasteners  46  that align with and secure upon lower interior wall  84 , seen in  FIG. 3 . 
   Seen in  FIG. 3  is a single bag assembly  80  split in two parts for illustrative purposes. Bag assembly  80  receives and retains the canine C fecal matter. Bag assembly  80  comprises exterior wall  82 , lower interior wall  84  and upper interior wall  85 . Bag assembly  80  is also made of plastic and is shaped in a form resembling a pear. Bag assembly  80  is shaped wherein the narrower end of upper interior wall  85  faces upwardly and terminates at area  92 , and the wider end of lower interior wall  84  faces downwardly and terminates at end  96 . Immediately below area  92  is hole  86  having rim  88 . Area  92  is very narrow since the space between the canine C upper edge of the anus and the tail&#39;s T pleat is very narrow. Exterior wall  82  comprises pleats  90  that allow for expansion as bag assembly  80  is filled with fecal matter. Exterior wall  82  also comprises accordion  100  that expands when the tail T of the canine C is raised. Side pleats  94  join exterior wall  82  and, lower interior wall  84  and upper interior wall  85 , to allow for expansion as bag assembly  80  is filled with fecal matter. Bag assembly  80  suspends from strap assembly  20 , whereby rim  26  of strap assembly  20  has means of engaging that allow engaging of rim  88  when holes  24  and  86  align.
