An animal umbrella is disclosed. The animal umbrella comprises a saddle, straps connected to the saddle for detachably attaching the saddle to the animal, a collapsible canopy, a shaft with first and second ends, connected at the first end to the canopy, and connected at the second end to the saddle in a pivotable manner, and a position lock to releasably secure the shaft in a vertical position. The shaft can be pivoted between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position, so that in a vertical position the canopy is open and held vertically, and in a horizontal position the canopy is closed and lies horizontally along the animal's back.

What is claimed is: 1. An umbrella for an animal comprising: a saddle; straps connected to the saddle for attaching the saddle to the animal; a collapsible canopy; a shaft with first and second ends, the first end connected to the collapsible canopy; a pivot pin connected to the saddle for attachin
What is claimed is: 1. An umbrella for an animal comprising: a saddle; straps connected to the saddle for attaching the saddle to the animal; a collapsible canopy; a shaft with first and second ends, the first end connected to the collapsible canopy; a pivot pin connected to the saddle for attaching the second end of the shaft to the saddle defining an axis of rotation about which the shaft rotates between a substantially vertical and a substantially horizontal position relative to the saddle whicle the shaft is attached to the saddle; and a position lock having two ends, the position lock releasably securing the shaft in the vertical position when the shaft is attached to the saddle, the position lock including a resilient biasing means for allowing the two ends of the position lock to be compressed inwardly in order to release the position lock from securing the shaft ion the vertical position. 2. The umbrella of claim 1, further comprising a folded canopy holder for securing the folded canopy to the saddle while the shaft is attached to the saddle at the second end and while the shaft is in the substantially horizontal position relative to the saddle. 3. The umbrella of claim 2, wherein the folded canopy holder comprises a strap attached to an end of the saddle distal to the animal's head, which strap passes over the folded canopy when the canopy is in the horizontal position relative to the saddle. 4. The umbrella of claim 1, further comprising a leash-receiving ring secured to the saddle. 5. The umbrella of claim 1, wherein the pivot pin traverses the second end of the shaft and engages the saddle, securing the shaft pivotally to the saddle. 6. The umbrella of claim 5, which further comprises: a plate secured to the saddle; and first and second mutually substantially parallel planar members secured substantially perpendicular to the plate, wherein the pivot pin traverses the first planar member, a first hole in the second end of the shaft, and the second planar member. 7. The umbrella of claim 5, wherein the pivot pin releasably engages the saddle, permitting the shaft to be released from the saddle when the pivot pin is disengaged. 8. The umbrella of claim 7, wherein the pivot pin is resilient. 9. The umbrella of claim 1, wherein the position lock comprises a locking pin for releasably securing the shaft in the substantially vertical position relative to the saddle such that the locking pin traverses the second end of the shaft when the shaft is in the substantially vertical position relative to the saddle. 10. The umbrella of claim 9, which further comprises: a plate secured to the saddle; and first and second mutually substantially parallel planar members secured substantially perpendicularly to the plate wherein the locking pin traverses the first planar member, a second hole in the second end of the shaft, and the second planar member, and wherein the locking pin releasably engages the first and second planar members such that when the first and second planar members and the shaft are engaged by the locking pin, the shaft is maintained in a substantially vertical position relative to the saddle, and when the locking pin is disengaged from the first and second planar members and the shaft, the shaft is pivoted about the pivot point to a substantially horizontal position relative to the saddle. 11. The umbrella of claim 1, wherein the position lock comprises a tube which encircles the second end of the shaft and the pivot to secure the shaft in the substantially vertical position relative to the saddle. 12. The umbrella of claim 1, which further comprises: a plate secure to the saddle; and first and second mutually substantially parallel planar members secured substantially perpendicularly to the plate wherein the pivot comprises a pivot pin that traverses the first planar member, a first hole in the second end of the shaft, and me second planar member to secure the shaft to the saddle, and wherein the position lock is a locking pin that traverses the first planar member, a second hole in the second end of the shaft, and the second planar member, the locking pin releasably engaging the first and second planar members such that when the first and second planar members are engaged by the locking pin, the shaft is maintained in a substantially vertical position relative to the saddle, and when the second pin is disengaged from the first and second planar members, the shaft is pivoted about the pivot point to a substantially horizontal position relative to the saddle.
