Vintage Postcard: A Habitant Dog Cart on Gaspe Coast, P.Q. (2)

Number 2 of a ten-part series of postcards about Working Dogs of the Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec.

I find Gaspe dog-carts fascinating not only because of their novelty (to me) but also because there’s a variety of designs and those depicted in my old postcards seem to be hand-crafted and perhaps even home-made.

These dogcarts are a ture testament to our ancestors’ ingenuity!
