I'd say dog also.looks like claw marks to me and I don't think a cat would dig in that deep .A track pattern would be helpful or a closer picture too.did it register when it walked? It looks as if it was making a left turn by the dirt thrown out of the track to the right.without a pattern or closer pic I'd have to say dog,I can swear I see claw marks.

Adam, I would also say that the track is canine. If you take a close look at the pad of the track you can see that has a triangular shape to it. If it were from a feline, that pad would be much flatter and wider with two nodes on the top and bottom. Do you have a close up of the track and of the register? (Register meaning track pattern.) If you do post them because I could tell you if it is a domestic dog or coyote. The sand is making the track appear larger than it is.

I look at some more pics that we had....definitely looks like claw marks and we didn't have a pic of the track pattern, just individual tracks. Well at least now I don't have to worry about fighting mountain lions

I bet Ed was somewhere nearby and it was his dog. :)
