The dog can't just jump in to a moving vehicle when he gets tired. By the time he's tired enough to do that, he's too tired to expend the energy necessary to perform a jump into a moving vehicle.
If the cart driver really gave a dam about his dog's need to exercise, he'd maybe put a harness on him and attach the harness to a little red wagon. Then, he can sit in the wagon and pretend to be a sled driver and his dog is a sled dog. WHEEEE! Dog gets exercise, cart driver gets a free ride around the park, everyone's happy.
