1340s France Man Carting with Dogs - DOCUMENTATION! YAH!

I have two big dogs.  I want them to cart for me, as they are stronger than I am, and sometimes events are quite a haul to unload.  Carting dogs - hmmm.....


Voila!  Dog carting!  This illumination originates from the British Museum manuscript, Royal 10 E IV, commonly called "Decretals of Gregory." (Folio 110v) circa 1340 AD
The entire manuscript can be found here:

More great manuscripts can be found at the British Library Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts.
Take a look!
