This skeleton was larger than that though. More than Great Dane size, I guess.

It's a German Shepherd dog, by the way. I took it to ANNE EXPERT who confirmed it for me.

ANNE EXPERT's first comment was that someone probably took the dog out to the woods and shot it, but there's no bullet wound visible on the skull. I suppose it's possible that it ingested some poison of some sort. It certainly looked as though it had died in its sleep, all curled up peacefully :(

Would "looks like it died violently" have been a :) ?

I think the whole episode is very sad. From the condition of the teeth, it's been estimated that the dog was quite young - maybe only about two years old. I live in a fairly remote rural area, in a very small and friendly village where everybody knows everybody else, and it's not the sort of place where someone could lose a dog without people knowing that it had gone missing. Even if a person not-from-round-these-parts had lost their dog while out walking in the moor, putting up a "Lost Dog" poster or asking around would have had loads of the neighbours out helping to search. I'm puzzled by what could have happened to the poor animal, and how seemingly nobody cared that it had gone missing.

Aren't those small front teeth stumps old and worn off?
