What animal left this print?

Bad picture, and I apologize. The top one looked like a deer but I can't figure out the bottom one. Looks like it has claws. Could be a dog, but it's a weird place for a dog. I was bank fishing and had to walk through some pretty thick brush to get there. I don't think anyone else goes to this spot, due to its location and other, more easily-accessible spots nearby. It's definitely not a spot for someone to let their dog swim, but I'm stumped as to what it could be. It's near downtown Fort Worth, just outside the fence line of a junkyard, so I'm not even sure why there would be deer or anything else in the area. I've never seen anything like that and I live nearby. We do have a lot of stray dogs in the area though.

Ok, guess I was right. Just a weird spot for a dog. I'd rather that than something else. Thanks for the feedback.

You have four different tracks there. Top is rabbit, far left is coon, then you have a track on top of a track. The one headed to the right is a canid and the one headed to the left is feline as I see it.

What kind of feline are you thinking? Feral domestic-style cat or bobcat? That might have been throwing me off, that it was two tracks in one.

Without having anything decisive to show size, based off these pics I would lean more towards the track going left being from a feral cat and the track on top being that of a fox. This is just going off of comparison to an average rabbit track size which is shown at the top.

We do have fox in the area, so that makes sense. Forgot about them. Thanks for the input, everyone.
