    Looking for Engineering idea for a harness to pull a cart

    I have an elderly dog with a broken leg. Back in late 2019 I started hiking down by the river with the dog and have continued to this day. However she broke her leg, and then had to have surgery to add a plate, she is still unable to walk much during the healing. So I purchased a garden cart to tote her with us (my wife and my dog), but the extra weight and the quick harness I made are starting to make it too difficult.

    Currently I have two equal length leashes attached to a clip on the handle.

    The leashes crisscross my chest like Sean Connery’s bandoliers.

    I have been thinking about maybe some replacement backpack straps,
