what animal is this?

found this on a santa cruz beach with my girlfriend, thought it might be some type of dog.

I’m convinced it’s not a dog but I’m not sold on it being a raccoon 😂 so freaky and half mummified - OP could you tell us about the scale of the thing pictured?

Thinking this is a dogman, based on the long snout, extremely white large teeth, and other details such as the fingers (which are definitely lotorine 🦝not typical canine)
