Dog or Goat Cart

Located in the Barn

This cart from 1904 would have been used for a goat to pull a small child along. Although not impossible, it is unlikely that it was designed for a dog to pull. Dog carts were banned in Britain in 1841, as before that they had been used quite widely, particularly for local deliveries like milk. The act was opposed quite heavily as dogs were cheaper to own than the types of livestock allowed to be used after the act was passed.
