"Prairiedawg"?? Looks like a woodchuck to me. Probably raised from a baby if its mother was shot for digging burrows in a farmer's hayfield. Or the nest turned over in spring plowing.

Didn't know Pennsylvania had . . . prairies.

Heh heh

Prairie dogs apparently were once native to PA. I had no idea that they are somewhat popular as pets. They’ve got to be frightfully strong for their size.

They do look very much like the much larger woodchuck.

Odd. I was thinking that it looks more like a groundhog.

;)
