• a) a frame that includes a folded out configuration and a folded in configuration, the foldable wagon being operable in the folded out configuration, the foldable wagon being in a compact state in the folded in configuration;
• b) the frame having front end support members, rear end support members, right side support members, left side support members, first and second front corner support members, first and second rear corner support members, and bottom support members;
• c) the frame having a first pivot location where right side support members are pivotally engaged, the frame having a second pivot location where the left side support members are pivotally engaged, the first pivot location being about one-half a distance between one of the front end support members and one of the rear end support members, the second pivot location being about one-half the distance between one of the front end support members and one of the rear end support members;
• d) a receptacle engaged to the frame, the receptacle being between the front end and rear end support members when the frame is in the folded out configuration, the receptacle being between the right side and left side support members when the frame is in the folded out configuration, the receptacle being on or above the bottom support members when the frame is in the folded out configuration;
• e) the receptacle being flexible such that the receptacle remains engaged to the frame when the frame is folded out to the folded out configuration from the folded in configuration and such that the receptacle remains engaged to the frame when the frame is folded in to the folded in configuration from the folded out configuration;
• f) first and second fork arrangements depending respectively from the first and second front corner support members;
• g) a pair of first and second front wheels, the first and second front wheels engaged to the first and second fork arrangements respectively, each of the first and second front wheels being independently spinnable about a vertical axis;
• h) first and second receivers depending respectively from the first and second rear corner support members and engaging therein the first and second rear corner support members;
• i) an axle engaging the first and second receivers and having first and second end portions;
• j) a first rear wheel rotatably engaged on the first end portion of the axle and a second rear wheel rotatably engaged on the second end portion of the axle, a first receptor extending inwardly from the first rear wheel and a second receptor extending inwardly from the second rear wheel, the first receptor rigidly fixed to the first rear wheel and rotating therewith, the second receptor rigidly fixed to the second rear wheel and rotating therewith;
• and
• k) first and second pedals pivotally engaged to the first and second receivers, each of the first and second pedals having a proximal end and a distal end, an elongate member engaged to and extending between the distal ends of the first and second pedals, each of the distal ends having an outwardly extending extension;
• l) Such that when the elongate member is stepped upon the distal ends of the pedals are pivoted downwardly so as to pivot the proximal ends of the pedals upwardly such that the outwardly extending extensions of the pedals engage the first and second receptors that extend inwardly from the first and second rear wheels so as to brake or lock the pet wagon.

• v) a front U-shaped support member engaged to the first and second front corner posts and extending rearwardly therefrom, the front U-shaped support member having first and second rear ends;
• vi) a rear U-shaped support member engaged to the first and second rear corner posts and extending frontwardly therefrom, the rear U-shaped support member having first and second front ends;
• vii) a first oblique support member having front and rear ends, the front end of the first oblique support member being pivotally engaged to the first rear end of the front U-shaped support member, the rear end of the first oblique support member being pivotally engaged to the lower rear support member;
• viii) a second oblique support member having front and rear ends, the front end of the second oblique support member being pivotally engaged to the second rear end of the front U-shaped support member, the rear end of the second oblique support member being pivotally engaged to the lower rear support member;
• ix) a third oblique support member having front and rear ends, the rear end of the third oblique support member being pivotally engaged to the first front end of the rear U-shaped support member, the front end of the third oblique support member being pivotally engaged to the lower front support member;
• x) a fourth oblique support member having front and rear ends, the rear end of the fourth oblique support member being pivotally engaged to the second front end of the rear U-shaped support member, the front end of the fourth oblique support member being pivotally engaged to the lower front support member;
• xi) the first and third oblique support members being pivotally engaged at a first pivot location;
• xii) the second and fourth oblique support members being pivotally engaged at a second pivot location;
• and
• b) a flexible receptacle engaged to the frame for receiving a pet;
• and
• c) a handle engaged to the frame, the handle having first, second, and third handle support members, the third handle support member extending between the first and second handle support members, the first handle support member being pivotally engaged to the frame at the first pivot location, and the second handle support member being pivotally engaged to the frame at the second pivot location.
