I was going to say "baby robin" also.

Is it not simply a rabbit hole?

'Tiz rat, innaat.

*edit:


Rats dig holes similar to those of water voles, 6-9cm in diameter. They are usually close to water, but are also found in a variety of other habitats such as hedgerows, rubbish tips and often under cover such as tree roots and logs.
Unlike water vole holes, rat holes generally have a fan-shaped mass of freshly dug soil outside and the holes are connected by well-trodden runways.

Thinking rat myself now. Given that my dog is not all fussed about appearance of this hole what's the best way to resolve this? Put bait out at night when dog can't get to it? Or put bait in hole and cover up.

I've had 3 similar holes over the years. Weirdly they've all been in plain sight, which I'd have thought would be a non starter. None ever persisted after the first time I filled them in.

Tell your dog to buck his ideas up.

Oh and maybe buy him a motivational poster.

Not surprised, there's good eating to be had from a rat

Given the proximity to 'buttock' I think 'King Piece' might be a typo.
