Special Dog Treat
MacKenzie was chewing on something. I took a closer look and found this monstrosity in her mouth.
It was time to get the rat shovel. (It's a dedicated shovel just for scooping up dead varmints.) MacKenzie took off running with it. That was her upper jaw treasure and she didn't want to give it up. A chase ensued and finally she dropped it. She cried so pitifully when I scooped it up and took it to the trash can.
The jaw is about three inches in length, the same size as the Cocker's jaw. I quickly examined his mouth and all of his teeth were intact. Just to make sure, I looked in all of the dog's mouths, except for MacKenzie. I'm not going near her for awhile, but from a safe distance, I can see her upper teeth.
I had an awful thought and went outside to check the dog graves, but they were undisturbed.
So, I have three questions:
1. What kind of animal did it come from?
2. How did it get in my yard?
3. And the scariest question of all, where is the rest of it?

From the shape of the canines and the pre-molars, it looks like some type of dog.

It's certainly not a rat or other rodent.
I'll agree with Bulldog about the teeth. I looks dog-like to me.
Did you check the dogs to make sure they still all had their upper jaw? Sorry.
That is too wierd. Somewhere, there is the rest of a dead dog.
I just hope that there aren't any more bits somewhere in my yard.
that is just creepy.... really creepy. update us if you find out anything else about where this came from
