Visitor Identified?

I think Clara found the owner of the snowy critter footprints. She heard it tunneling under the snow this afternoon, pounced, and spit it out on the snow for me. It's a mole. We dumped him in the neighbor's yard (no one lives there) and watched him burrow back under the snow. I know he probably won't stay there, but none of us had the heart to kill him. I just hope the dog doesn't keep finding him!
