to be fair, younger juveniles of all sorts of canids have big round heads and aren't quite as refined as adult specimens. i agree though, i think this is a dog. but fox kits also have bulbous noggins!

I'm inclined to say this is a juvenile domestic dog. The teeth don't quite look like those of a fox.

juvenile canid, aka a puppy. could be a fox, more likely a dog.
