Does a vertical force do work on an object that is moving in horizontal direction?

A couple of perfect examples are: -- the driver sitting in a car cruising along a level highway -- the dog sitting in a little red wagon being pulled on level ground by a little girl. In each case, the passenger's weight is the gravitational force, acting vertically, while the vehicle is constrained to move horizontally. The gravitational force does no work in either situation, because the (vertical) distance through which it acts is zero.
