Ah, but even large dogs start out small... :-)
Are badgers an option? They are not adverse to a free meal or carrion.

Subject: [ZOOARCH] goose skeleton
Thanks Sheila for your suggestions.
I wonder whether a rural Late Iron Age/Early Roman settlement would have
cats? I have identified cats from early Roman contexts but all were
large urban sites. Small dogs could be a possibility but most Iron Age
dogs seem to be of medium to large size - and the dog skeleton from
another deposit in the same pit as the goose had a shoulder height of 60
cm.
Thanks again.
From Philip
