Dog Sulky

I noticed that someone was asking about building a sulky to be pulled by a dog.  Plans for such a sulky were in a 1983 book titled "The Cart Book With Plans and Projects" by William L. Sullivan.  This book is out of print.  I haven't searched lately to see if it is obtainable.

Here's probably enough information to be able to construct one on your own.

 Here are the markings to use with a pipe bender

 These are the pieces for making the seat

 The harness is a critical component - adjust according to the dog

That's it.  I didn't want to post every page of the entire chapter ... figured this was enough
