During the last trip to the dump with a load of brush we noticed one of the trailer tires looking a bit slack. When we got back I checked & it was way low. Inflated it to 50 psi & checked about an hour later to find it at 42. Replaced it with the spare & looked for a leak source, expecting a nail or screw. Instead I find something that initially looked like white plastice (maybe part of a golf tee I think?).

When dislodged it was this:

Looks like an incisor from something maybe cat sized. Must have encountered a bit of road kill bent on revenge.
