I had this idea years ago for some thing I was writing, but figured it would depend on weight of person and type of ground to get the animal prints with no surrounding human footprint.
I eventually settled on backward-soled shoes, so that it always looks like you're going the other way.

The Unabomber had a similar idea.
Couldn't you still easily tell which side of the print got the initial impact of the heel and which side has the curve of the toes? Again, depending on weight of person and type of ground, but I think it would look off even to a layperson.
I recall the old show Beastmaster was chasing a dryad or something and she left backwards tracks.
Other people were like "the tracks are going the other way!" And he had to explain that she's tricky like that.
Why are there always three paw prints together?! Must be some hopping tripedal bunny dog :)
We may be over thinking this
Half the comments are ruining the joke 😤
Welcome to lemmy.
Animal Detective: The dog you're looking for weighs close to 200lbs, walks exclusively inside shoe prints, and (based on the trash in the area) is fond of playing Edward 40 Hands.

all I can see here is foot arch pain.
So the dog prints are 3-4 prints relatively closely spaced, then a 2-3 foot gap and then 3-4 prints slightly offset from the first set.
Yup, most people dont have tracking sense, let alone common sense. This would easily fool the majority.
Well even if someone has tracking sense and skills, the probability that he thinks these shoes exist is near zero. So at best, he thinks of something weird is going on.
You think a skilled tracker has never conceived the idea of fake tracks? Something like this exists in so many crime or detective novels and shows (of varying quality) it is almost a trope.
Your neighbour is very bad at deciphering tracks
I... what? He's doing what with these shoes?
Pooping
full-on dropping trousers, froggy squatting and pinching a fat loaf on someone else's doorstep in the middle of the day
Hey now, just a minute. That was a dog. See the tracks?
