Well, the payload is 77 lbs, so weight-wise it should be OK, even with a dog carrier on it.

My only concern would be it might be a little small physically for a dog that size. My Australian Shepard mix is 55 lbs and she wouldn't be able to lie down in the 29x19" space. She could only sit up in it. A dog carrier big enough for her would fit without the side rails if it isn't wider than 23" to fit between the wheels.

One of my considerations was the relatively narrow track for a two wheeler. I ride on a lot of roads where there is fast traffic and no shoulder. You might need something a little bigger for that dog. Cut a 29x19" piece of cardboard, lay it on the floor and get the dog to lie down on it.
