Carts Pulled by Improbable Animals

So the other day I passed a woman who was bringing her groceries home in a cart pulled by a St. Bernard. Wow, I thought. Never seen that one before. I guess that’s one way to beat high gas prices. I went on google to see if I could find a photo of one of these dog-drawn carts, and actually there are tons. I guess this shouldn’t have surprised me so much. I mean, we’ve all heard of dogsleds right? Here’s an example of dog cart:

“Hey baby, you want a ride?”

But I also came across carts driven by even more unlikely animals. For, example you’ve got your lion carts:

And of course your moose carts:

(I was thinking, if McCain wins, maybe Palin will ride into Washington on a moose-drawn chariot. That’s about the only thing I can think of that would turn this election into even more of a circus than it’s become in recent days.)

After I found the moose cart, I started googling “cart pulled by” + the most improbable animals I could think of. I tried “ostrich,” and then thought “no effing way” as this actually came up:

I also found this picture:

I can’t really even describe how much I hate that the guy in the bowler hat, who apparently beats those tiny little pigs with his massive stick in order to get them to lug his milk jugs around. I mean fine, use a pig for a beast of burden … if you’re Willow. But this guy here should be pulling his own damn milk cart if you ask me, and he certainly shouldn’t be placing a further burden on the pigs by giving rides to his dopey-looking friends.

I was unable to find any photos of carts pulled by panthers, hippos, or polar bears, but, you know, that’s why I like fantasy.
