     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure generally relates to the field of pet harnesses, and more particularly to a versatile pet utility harness and integrated diaper useful for containing canine excrement. 
     BACKGROUND 
     An owner of a domestic dog may prefer to allow the domestic dog access to an area the owner wishes to remain free of dog excrement. For example, a homeowner may prefer a dog to remain in the owner&#39;s home while also desiring the home to remain free from dog excreta. To further this desire, a wrap-around canine utility harness used in concert with an integral dog diaper able to contain dog excrement may be of specific interest to the owner. Dogs may prefer not to wear an external garment specifically around a backside area. Domestic pet owners may have difficulty securing and keeping in place a simple pet diaper. 
     Previous attempts at holding a pet diaper in place have found limited success. These attempts may include a dog diaper fitted with straps or buckles intended to encircle the shoulders of a dog. However, without fully wrapping the trunk of the dog, these attempts may find limited ability to maintain position on the dog. 
     Therefore, an owner of a domestic dog may find useful an integrated harness diaper apparatus capable of comfortable excrement security on a dog while providing additional utility for control of the dog.

     Continuing with reference to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , harness section may further comprise a three-section longitudinal wrap  130 ,  140 ,  150 . The three coupled sections may comprise a dorsal longitudinal section  130 , a tail longitudinal section  140 , and a ventral longitudinal section  150 . The three coupled sections may form the entirety of the longitudinal wrap  130 ,  140 ,  150 . The longitudinal wrap may have a dorsal cranial end  160  and a ventral cranial end  170 . 
     The dorsal longitudinal section  130  may maintain a longitudinal dimension of between 6 and 22 inches and a lateral dimension of between 3.5 and 10 inches. For purposes of nomenclature, the longitudinal dimension extends from dorsal cranial end  160  to ventral cranial end  170  and the lateral dimension extends from trunk wrap (described further below) outer wrap end  114  to inner wrap end  112 . The dorsal longitudinal section  130  may begin at the dorsal cranial end  160  near a withers area of the dog. The dorsal longitudinal section  130  may continue caudally along the back of the dog ending at a caudal end near the rump of the dog. The dorsal longitudinal section may comprise longitudinal attachment clips  138  configured to detachably couple to adjustable longitudinal attachment suspenders  152  (below) and enable an owner to mount the longitudinal wrap  130 ,  140 ,  150  on the dog. D-ring  134  may be coupled to the dorsal longitudinal section allowing an owner to control a dog using the wrap-around canine utility harness as a control device. It is contemplated the strength of the D-ring  134  and the strength of its associated coupling including additional strengthening layers of material  136  may enable a dog owner to lift the weight of the dog by the D-ring  134 . A dorsal wrap attachment  132   a  may be coupled to the external side  180  of the dorsal longitudinal section  130 .

The tail longitudinal section  140  may consist of two individual and equal left and right sections. The left and right sections may be planarly and separately coupled at the dorsal end of the tail longitudinal section  140  to the caudal end of the dorsal longitudinal section  130 . The planarly coupling at the dorsal end of the tail longitudinal section  140  may be configured such that a right side of the left section is in proximity to a left side of the right section. The coupling may be configured leaving a tail opening  142  between the left and right sections. The tail opening  142  of sufficient size to allow a tail of the dog to extend through the tail opening  142  as the left and right sections of the tail longitudinal section enclose around a base of the tail as the harness apparatus is mounted on the dog. As the left and right section extend in a caudal direction from the dorsal end, they may preferably begin to overlap to a point where each ventral end of each section is vertically aligned and coupled so a left side of the left section is in proximity to a left side of the right section. As they are coupled together, the left and right sections form the ventral end of the tail longitudinal section  140 . The left and right sections may be comprised of an outer layer comprised of the pliable fabric, and an inner elastic structure capable of an elastic elongation and a return to its original shape. The tail longitudinal section may maintain a longitudinal dimension of between 5 and 9 inches. The tail longitudinal section may be further configured for elongation to an extended dimension by a factor of approximately at least 1.4. For example, a 9 inch tail longitudinal section may elastically extend to 13 inches without plastic deformation. The structure and design of tail opening  142  may be of caudal-cranial elongation form to allow caudal-cranial adjustment of longitudinal wrap  130 ,  140 ,  150  to securely fit the dog. 
     Continuing with reference to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , the ventral longitudinal section  150  may have a caudal end and a cranial end  170 . As mounted on the dog, the caudal end may be in proximity with a lower abdomen of the dog while the cranial end may be in proximity with an upper chest area near the sternum of the dog. The ventral longitudinal section may have a longitudinal dimension of between 8 and 26 inches and a lateral dimension of between 2 and 4 inches. The ventral longitudinal section may be configured with joining attachment points  120  to couple the ventral longitudinal section to the trunk wrap  110 . 
     At its caudal end, the ventral longitudinal section  150  may couple to the ventral end of the tail longitudinal section  140 . At its cranial end, the ventral longitudinal section may couple to a pair of adjustable longitudinal attachment suspenders  152 . The adjustable longitudinal attachment suspenders  152  may extend from the cranial end of the ventral longitudinal section and encircle the neck of the dog and attach to the longitudinal attachment clips  138  using suspender buckles  156 . It is contemplated the adjustable longitudinal attachment suspenders  152  may be constructed of elastic material maintaining a resting length of between 3 and 30 inches and a width of between 1 and 3 inches. Adjustable buckle  154  may provide support for the adjustable longitudinal attachment suspenders  152  and additional adjustment to keep the harness apparatus in place around the neck of the dog. 
     The ventral longitudinal section  150  may further comprise a ventral diaper attachment  122   a . It is contemplated in a preferred embodiment an owner may attach a canine diaper to the wrap-around canine utility harness. The ventral diaper attachment  122   a  may be configured to detachably secure the canine diaper to the ventral longitudinal section  150 . 
     Continuing with reference to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , wrap-around canine utility harness may further comprise a trunk wrap  110 . Preferably, when mounted on a dog, trunk wrap  110  may encircle the trunk of the dog forming a ring around the longitudinal axes of the dog. Trunk wrap  110  may have a inner wrap end  112  and an outer wrap end  114 . Trunk wrap  110  may tightly encircle the trunk of the dog, securing the pet diaper harness to the dog. The trunk wrap  110  may be constructed of the pliable fabric and be of a inelastic design. In an alternate embodiment, a portion of the total construction of trunk wrap  110  may be configured with an internal elastic structure enabling the trunk wrap  110  to elastically elongate by approximately four inches. For example, a trunk wrap  110  of a resting 18 inches may elastically elongate to 22 inches as it is tightened and mounted on a dog. 
     Trunk wrap  110  may further include trunk overlap fasteners  116   a  and  116   b  coupled to the trunk wrap  110  to secure the trunk wrap around the dog. Trunk wrap attachment fasteners  116   a  and  116   b  may meet as inner wrap end  112  is overlapped by outer wrap end  114 . As inner and outer ends  112  and  114  overlap to detachably attach, preferably hook and loop fasteners may be used to join ends  112  and  114 . In addition, trunk wrap attachment fastener  132   b  may detachably attach to dorsal wrap attachment  132   a  to secure the trunk wrap  110  to the longitudinal wrap  130 ,  140 ,  150  on the dorsal of the dog.

Of specific interest, left and right tail sections may be seen planarly coupled near the tail opening  142  yet vertically coupled as they join the ventral section  150 . The ventral diaper attachment  122   a  may be seen ready for mounting to the integral diaper garment  400 . 
     Diaper Section 
     Referring to  FIGS. 4-5 , a view of a preferred embodiment of an integral diaper garment in accordance with the present invention is shown. Embodiments of integral diaper garment  400  may comprise a garment comprising a plurality of layers designed to contain dog excrement. 
     Layered garment pet diaper  400  may have an interior liner  480  and an exterior pliable layer  490 . The interior surface of each layer of the integral diaper garment  400  may be defined as that side of the garment a majority of which is in proximity with the dog while the garment is mounted on the dog. Conversely, the exterior surface of integral diaper garment  400  may be defined as the surface a majority of which is more distant from the dog as the garment is mounted on the dog. Additionally, integral diaper garment may have a dorsal end  404  and a ventral end  402 . Dorsal end  404  may be defined as the portion of the garment in proximity with the dorsal or back of the dog while the ventral end  402  may be in proximity with the ventral or belly of the dog. 
     The exterior pliable layer  490  may be constructed of durable yet breathable material capable of liquid and solid containment while able to withstand rigorous dog use without losing structural integrity. Interior liner  480  may comprise a barrier material suitable for liquid and solid excrement containment. Interior liner  480  may be of similar shape as the exterior pliable layer. 
     One goal of the integral diaper garment may include maintaining a tight fit around the hind legs and posterior of the dog. Once exterior pliable layer  490  and interior liner  480  are coupled, the result of the coupling may be defined as a shell. Coupled to, and integrally incorporated with the shell may be elastic strips able to return to an initial state after elongated deformation. Leg elastic strips  414 , tail elastic strips  412  and dorsal elastic strip  410  may be coupled to the shell where the shell material is compressed or bunched. This compression may create an increased surface area of shell material surrounding the elastic strip as the elastic strip at rest is joined. After joining the elastic strip at rest to compressed or bunched shell, as shell material and elastic strips  410 ,  412 , and  414  may be elongated to a stretched state, shell material may decompress to an original flattened state while elastic strip is stretched. Once shell-elastic combination is released, elastic strip may return to an original resting state causing shell material to return to a compressed state. 
     To achieve a fitted garment mounted tightly but comfortably against the posterior of the dog, integral diaper garment may include an elongated tail opening  408  constructed generally in a cranial-caudal elongation in exterior pliable layer  490  and aligned with interior liner  480 . It is contemplated elongated tail opening  408  may be of alternate lengths to allow pet diaper adjustment in a cranial caudal direction to fit various sizes of dog. Further, elongated tail opening  408  may be of closable construction for a dog having no tail. Additionally, tail elastic strips  412  may be incorporated around elongated tail opening  408  to offer increased closure of elongated tail opening  408  after pet diaper is mounted on the dog. Further, pet diaper may fit tightly against the body of a dog not having a tail as pet diaper does not use the elongated tail opening  408  as a support structure. 
     Continuing with reference to  FIG. 1 , to realize the additional goal of containment of dog excrement, integral diaper garment  400  may further comprise absorbent pad  406  coupled to and interior of interior liner  480 . Absorbent pad  406  may be of sufficient size to cover an anus and urethra area of the dog yet smaller than an overall interior surface area of the interior liner  480 . Specifically, absorbent pad  406  may be configured of sufficient size extending generally from an area aligned and surrounding a midpoint of elongated tail opening  408 , extending caudally from the elongated tail opening  408  to cover the dog anus area, wrapping around the dog posterior, extending cranially over the ventral of the dog. The absorbent pad  406  may extend in a cranial direction to a sternum area of the dog and may be of sufficient length and thickness to absorb male dog excreta. Additionally, absorbent pad  406  may be specifically configured to mount on a female dog and contain female specific excreta. Further still, absorbent pad  406  and integral diaper garment  400  may be configured to mount to a female dog and specifically configured to inhibit sexual contact by a male dog. 
     Preferably, the integral diaper garment  400  may be configured to mount securely to the wrap-around canine utility harness  100 . A dorsal attachment fastener  126   b  may detachably couple with the dorsal diaper attachment  126   a . A ventral attachment fastener  122   b  may detachably couple with the ventral diaper attachment  122   a . A trunk attachment fastener  124   b  may detachably couple with the trunk diaper attachment  124   a . It is contemplated the various modes and locations of fastener may be altered to function within the scope of the present invention. 
     Reinforcements  416  may be integrally constructed between exterior pliable layer  490  and interior liner  480  at ventral end  402 . Reinforcements  416  may enable ventral end  402  of pet diaper to fit closely to the ventral portion of the dog as trunk attachment fastener  124   b  are secured to trunk diaper attachment  124   a . Reinforcements  416  embedded within and preferably between exterior pliable layer  490  and interior liner  480  may comprise a pliable material, a rigid material, or a material suitable for additional structural support and the like. In a preferred embodiment, trunk attachment fastener  124   b  and trunk diaper attachment  124   a  may comprise a hook and loop design allowing for precise adjustment around the trunk of the dog. 
     Continuing with reference to  FIGS. 4 and 5 , Leg elastic strips  414  coupled to exterior pliable layer  490  and interior liner  480  may comprise strips of elastic material. Leg elastic strips  414  serve to enclose a location on pet diaper of anticipated placement around the legs of the dog. It is contemplated leg elastic strips  414  may extend further around the circumference of pet diaper and could extend to meet dorsal elastic strip  410  at the dorsal end  404  of integral diaper garment. Additionally, leg elastic strips  414  may extend toward the ventral end  402  of integral diaper garment and possibly meet the opposite leg elastic strip at the ventral end  402  of pet diaper. Elongated tail opening  408  may be encircled by tail elastic strips  412 . Absorbent pad  406  may be coupled to interior liner  480  and may be constructed of well-known materials suitable for liquid absorption and solid waste containment. It is contemplated materials such as superabsorbent polymers, cotton blends, hydrogels, or hydrocolloids and the like may be configured to operate as absorbent pad  406 . 
     The integral diaper garment may be constructed in an hourglass shape having a first width at both the ventral end  402  and opposite dorsal end  404 . Near a midpoint between dorsal end  404  and ventral end  402  the shape of integral diaper garment may narrow to a second width. This narrowing may allow for integral diaper garment to securely fit between the hind legs of the dog as the pet diaper is mounted on the dog. Preferably, the second width will be half of the first width. The first width and the second width may be adjustable in integral diaper garment construction to accommodate various sizes of dogs. 
     As the integral diaper garment is mounted to the wrap-around canine utility harness, the added structure of the wrap-around canine utility harness may increase excrement containment. Added structural strength may be achieved by reinforcements  416  which may allow ventral end  402  to maintain shape around the belly of the dog as the trunk wrap  110  is wrapped around the trunk of the dog and secured in place. Reinforcements  416  may be comprised of curved rigid battens, additional pliable material, extra stitching and the like to reinforce ventral end  402  against deformation as the trunk wrap is pulled to mount wrap-around canine utility harness with integral diaper garment on the dog. 
     Referring to  FIG. 7 , a perspective view of an assembled wrap-around canine utility harness with integral diaper garment mounted in a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. The wrap-around canine utility harness  100  may provide an outer security layer over the top of a majority of the surface area of the integral diaper garment  400 . Additionally, outer layer coverage of specific anatomical areas of a dog including the anus and urethra are of primary concern and may be securely covered by the integral diaper garment  400 . The ventral attachment fastener  126   b  may be seen aligning and coupled with ventral diaper attachment  126   a . The left trunk attachment fastener  124   b  may be seen aligning and coupling with trunk diaper attachment  124   a . Ventral end  401  of integral diaper garment  400  may be seen extending cranially from the trunk wrap  110 . Absorbent pad  406  may be seen covering a majority of the interior liner  480  of the integral diaper garment. Exterior pliable layer  490  may extend to allow leg elastic strips  414  to securely enclose legs of the dog. 
     Mounting the Wrap on a Dog 
     For exemplary purposes, a proposed method of mounting the Wrap-around canine utility harness with integral diaper on a dog may include the following steps:
         1) lay out the wrap-around canine utility harness on a flat surface with harness external side facing away from the dog;   2) attach the integral diaper to the wrap-around canine utility harness at the dorsal, ventral, and trunk attachment fasteners;   3) place the dog on the surface over the harness/integral diaper with the dog&#39;s head corresponding to ventral cranial end  170  of the ventral longitudinal section  150 ;   4) ensure left and right legs of the dog are straddling either side of the longitudinal wrap, with left legs corresponding to outer wrap end  112  of the trunk wrap  110  and right legs corresponding to inner wrap end  114  of the trunk wrap  110 ;   5) ensure forward and hind legs of the dog are straddling either side of the trunk wrap  110 , with forelegs on the ventral cranial end  170  of ventral longitudinal section  150  and rear legs on the ventral caudal end  160  of dorsal longitudinal section side of the trunk wrap;   6) wrap the wrap-around canine utility harness with integral diaper garment around the dog threading the tail of the dog through the tail openings  142  and  408 ;   7) connect suspender buckles  156  with clips  138  and adjust adjustable buckle  154  for proper fit;   8) wrap inner wrap end  112  of trunk wrap around the left trunk of the dog, ensuring trunk wrap attachment fastener  132   b  joins with dorsal wrap attachment  132   a;      9) wrap outer wrap end  114  of trunk wrap  110  around the right trunk of the dog ensuring trunk overlap fastener  116   a  joins to trunk overlap fastener  116   b;      10) buckle and tighten the belt strap  128  using belt buckles  118   a  and  118   b.          

     Referring to  FIG. 8 , a lateral view showing the left side of a dog with a preferred embodiment of the present invention being mounted on the dog is shown. In a partial phase of the mounting process longitudinal wrap  130 ,  140 ,  150  is shown extending along the dorsal of the dog. Inner wrap end  112  of trunk wrap  110  is in place while outer wrap end  114  is in the process of being attached. 
     In an additional embodiment of the present invention, wrap-around canine utility harness  100  may be configured to secure, on a dog, a diaper designed for a human. Such human diaper may require alteration before functionality is fully realized when mounted on a dog. It is contemplated an owner of a dog may cut a tail opening in a human diaper to allow the dog tail to remain external to the human diaper.
