The dental formula seems to match that of a dog or fox.

Certainly looks "canine". The first pic clearly shows where the canine teeth would have been, and the rest of the dentation looks like dog / fox too.

I'd say probably a fox. An object of known size included in the photo would be useful as a point of reference. |

Yashca was asking for animal skulls in another thread, I don't suppose you kept it? |

It can depend on where you found it but as every one else is saying it looks like either a foxes or a dogs! I am sure it doesn't look like a deer but it is roughly the same size.
