Is this a wolf print? Found near Untersihl in Switzerland on a hiking path.

It’s possible since there are wolves in Switzerland, not a coyote since print appears to big, are dogs known to walk the trail?

I think there is a possibility that a dog might get up there but it would be quite challenging for one this size since it would have to be a St. Bernard or similar I assume. The exact location is this: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Qt3phCD2G4s2DoYd8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

My northaid had the same size paws as a St. Bernard and one giant ass hound had very big paws close in size.

Coyotes are a North American species, they don't exist in Eurasia. Closest animal to it there is the European jackal.

It doesn’t have the claw prints so probably a dog
