It really looks like the body of a dog, or something related but the head is in beak form which confuses me. Unless there are some pieces missing, I really believe is a large dog

Four government biologists contacted by Plum were unable to identify the species of the animal from its photo and came to the conclusion that "no such creature exists," putting forth the possibility that the photo may have been doctored. But a graphics specialist at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services calls the photo—if it were doctored—a "really good Photoshop job."

The pic here looks better. Plus all the comment on what people think it is. And apparently this is the "site that broke the story" (groundreport.com)

but looking at raccoon skulls ....I don't see the resemblance. even if parts of the jaw are missing.
