dog1 n Lots o' people use sleds that they walk along behind, an' use two like plough handles; and some more use them with machines up forrard - they sit in there: that's what we call "dog-killers", that sled, where you get up there an' sit down. One man all the heavier up there sittin' in that seat than three would be on the stern o' the slide. (probably plural here; one such sled being called a _dog-killer_) Yes DNE-cit J.D.A.
