My dog found unusual backbone on unusual spot
Well, it's not human backbone! At least I hope so!
But I still wonder how it ended up here, in the middle of nowhere. People are passing trough this underbush very rarely. I walk with my dog here and I haven't seen another human on this spot. Now I am thinking about all possible scenarios how this backbone ended here.
I didn't have any lighter with me to take a photo to compare the sizes.
But my assessment is that this piece of backbone is about 25 centimeters long. I will show you few clickable photos of the environment:

The nearest house is about 1 kilometer far from here and I don't think that someone lives there.
My dog brought a bone from the bushes and put it in front of my feet. Still thinking about all possible scenarios. Well, I have to consider some wild beast around here.
This is mainly territory of foxes.
But fox is too small to have this large backbone. The nearest pack of wolves is about 40 kilometers far from here and if they came here, they would be noticed. Few times the boar has strayed here, but that happens very rarely.

It's likely off of pig, goat, or sheep. dragged there by another dog or animal. foxes scavenge
I believe that one or two hunters tracked the boar to here and shot it. They couldn't carry it, so they cut it to slices, some bones remained there and foxes did the rest
do you think it could be a domestic dog spine?
Great idea! Because my dog didn't want to chew it! Many backyard dogs are leaving their homes when they sense that their end is near. Very much possible, thank you!
That's interesting that your dog didnt want to chew it. Mabe he wants you to burry it! lol
just sayin it doesnt look like any ribs I've eaten :-O
you have coyotes there?
No, and wolves are not so near, I am happy with idea of domestic dog, thank you!
but big dog! this spine is wide as my fist
No prob. I like checking out that kinda thing. I think coyotes are only North American now that I consider it. I think I'll search for signs of them around here today.
