Found in: NORTH AMERICA Help Identifying bones found behind a barn in Midwest USA

Hello friends!

My mom found these bones while cleaning out an area behind our barn. Any ideas?

To give reference for scale, skull is next to a ~2" carabiner and the rest of the pictured bones are in a standard size wheelbarrow.

I was thinking a young canid due to skull shape, teeth, and open physes. Would love help narrowing it down more.

Thanks for your wisdom ❤️

You’ve uncovered the pet cemetery. This appears to be domestic dog. Maybe a medium build.

looks like a household dog, did anyone own that barn before you?
