    Hippo? :)

    We live in an urban area with a healthy fox population. Something certainly had a go at digging up a cat that was in quite a shallow grave (due to tree roots and hard groud). After I saw the evidence, I put a couple of bricks on top of the area - something that my OH had declared 'not necessary' when the hole was dug initially!

    We have since moved house and new owners made aware of the 3 feline graves (although they were al marked anyway).
    It's not difficult!

    Are you assuming it was something getting in, rather than something getting out?

    We moved last month and a week or so ago I found some photos of staffies behind a beam upstairs. I texted the previous owner to tell her she'd left them behind. And she said they were her old dogs that had died and she had plenty of other photos so I could chuck the ones I found. Reading this thread has made me wonder if they're all buried in the garden. OMG!

    If it was a probate sale it might be rather difficult to contact the previous owner.

    You have checked where they are buried I take it....

    A "lab cross" kind of indicates it's a lab, with a bit of something else in it


    So it wouldnt be too much of a stretch to assume this dog is labrador sized

    Then again, it could have been crossed with a Great Dane or an Irish Wolfhound. I'm sure the result would have been lovely whilst living, but not what the OP wants to find under the petunias.

    Tell the police that there may be a body buried in your garden. They will soon find it.

    Although i would have thought that would be classed as a great dane cross as i doubt it would look like a lab
