WHAT DOES DOGCART MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dogcart

A dogcart is a light horse-drawn vehicle, originally designed for sporting shooters, with a box behind the driver's seat to contain one or more retriever dogs. The dog box could be converted to a second seat. Later variants included : ▪ A one-horse carriage, usually two-wheeled and high, with two transverse seats set back to back. It was known as a "bounder" in British slang. In India it was called a "tumtum". ▪ A French version having four wheels and seats set back to back was a dos-à-dos. ▪ An American four-wheeled dogcart, having a compartment for killed game, was called a "game cart". A young or small groom called a "tiger" might stand on a platform at the rear of a dogcart, to help or serve the driver. Frequent references to dog-carts are made by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in his writings about fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, and indeed by many other Victorian writers, as it was a common sight in those days. Fashions in vehicles changed quickly in the nineteenth century, and there is a great variety of names for different types.
