Pretty sure that is a Cougar track.  Could have slid a little in the mud.  When I first looked at it and saw the slide I thought rear foot of a small Bear.  I stared at it for a while and I can see where the pad outline is now.

I think that whatever pooped all of that was a little nervous and it's feet were doing the cha-cha...  :chuckle: :chuckle:

This is what I see in this track.

If it was a domestic dog you would very easily be able to see a claw mark in front of each toe.  I can't see that but I think the picture is to angled for me to see those any way.

I think it is your hand print from when when you knelt down to smell the freshness. :chuckle:
