  1. A carriage with a box for holding sportsmen's dogs; hence, a carriage for ordinary driving similar to a village cart, but with two transverse seats back to back, the second of which, as originally made, could be shut down, thus forming a box to hold dogs. We have never yet satisfactorily discovered whether the dog-cart be an English or French invention, as it is common with both nations, where it is used for hunting as well as for pleasure-riding. E. M. Stratton, World on Wheels, p. 240.
  2. A small cart made to be drawn by dogs.
