I still am still not exactly sold on said Lynx. For one, the Yorkshire is a tiny rat of a dog, so unless it's hungry, the Lynx shouldn't really take it as "competition" (they also apparently sometimes hunt smaller canines they come across). It would definitely not try to contact the child, even at it's most territorial, simply because by virtue of looking at us, even our feline companions think we're a retarted, giant bald mutated pup that cannot feed itself and thus would ocationally bring us the odd corpse to help us eat. Seeing as how I doubt the Lynx is any dumber, it wouldn't find a human equal to competition. Thus not being very territorial with the child.

If you say it was raised by humans, it would probably grow accostumed to the sight of them, if it was mistreated, it would actively try to kill the child on sight (if you imply it is somewhat vengeful). Other than that, the Lynx should just do virtually nothing to the kid and the story is supposed to fall flat on it's back plotwise.

Also, getting a Lynx in Murica would probably mean a Bobcat which are, as I've mentioned, at LARGEST equal to a small German shepherd, unless we're talking Canadian Lynx.

I will keep on vouching for Hyenas as a far more terrifying animal, I was camping out once, and in Israel, we have a wild population of Stripped Hyenas (which are smaller than the spotted once we see usually on TV but still, I don't anything to do with these jaws). and These bastards wouldn't stop "laughing" all night long. Back then, I did not know just how good of a biter that thing is, so it was just an inconvinience, today if it happened to me, I'd probably look for a gun because I want nothing to do with that animal.
