         2 . The cooler with a lateral opening as claimed in  claim 1  comprising;
 the first wall being perpendicularly connected to the base; 
 the fourth wall being perpendicularly connected to the base, opposite of the first wall; 
 the second wall being perpendicularly connected to the base; 
 the second wall being extended from the fourth wall to the first wall; 
 the third wall being perpendicularly connected to the base; and 
 the third wall being extended from the fourth wall to the first wall, opposite of the second wall. 
 
     
     
         3 . The cooler with a lateral opening as claimed in  claim 1  comprising:
 the top cover comprising an exterior casing, an insulated panel, and a cavity; 
 the insulated panel being concentrically positioned to the exterior casing; 
 the insulated panel being enclosed by the exterior casing; 
 the exterior casing being hingedly connected to the fourth wall; and 
 the cavity being laterally integrated into the exterior casing, opposite of the fourth wall. 
 
     
     
         4 . The cooler with a lateral opening as claimed in  claim 3  comprising:
 the exterior casing comprising a free end and a fixed end; 
 the cavity being positioned on the free end; and 
 the fixed end being hingedly connected to the fourth wall, wherein the top cover selectively opens and closes the top opening. 
 
     
     
         5 . The cooler with a lateral opening as claimed in  claim 1  comprising;
 the lateral cover comprising a handle, a frame, and a transparent panel; 
 the frame being perimetrically connected around the transparent panel; 
 the handle being connected to the to the frame and the transparent panel; 
 a bottom channel wall of the lateral opening being offset from the base; and 
 the frame being hingedly connected to the first wall, wherein the lateral cover selectively opens and closes the lateral opening. 
 
     
     
         6 . The cooler with a lateral opening as claimed in  claim 1  comprising;
 a door release mechanism; and 
 the door release mechanism being integrated between a frame of the lateral cover and the first wall.
