Can anyone identify this animal?

My co-worker caught this on their game camera this morning. Dog or wolf? The pointed ears, neck line, short legs and large body make me think it might be a wolf...? This photo was captured in a rural area of Douglas County, Colorado.

I kinda lean towards wolf,one thing for sure he/she eats well.

I'm leaning towards dog - the head is too square, the legs too short, and the snout too short for a clear id as a wolf. Any tracks?

Unfortunately not. Was in the grass and it’s been pretty dry around here.

Looks like a dog to me. I've seen a couple wolves up here in wyo. It would surprise me for one to be on the front range, maybe over on the west slope. I know a few years ago they tracked one with a radio collar and he was up by Rocky Mountain National Park.

CWB.

Looks like a big fuzzy blob. I really couldn't tell if its a cow or a camel.

It’s hard to get a size reference from your picture. If your buddy can approximate how tall the animal is at the shoulders it might be helpful, but without that it looks like a dog to me.
