This is away from any houses. No large dogs around. My first thought was a lab but its private property.

That is a cougar track, and it's actually two tracks (the hind slightly behind and on top of the front).

Yeah, for the canines generally I've seen that the middle toes tend to be really similar and positioned almost identically.  For yotes, the middle toes are usually way forward in the track compared to everything else.

Cat of some kind, no visible claws, probably lynx, bobcat or baby cougar
