Can you identify this vertebra?

Hello all. I found this vertebra on the beach in Jersey City on New York Bay. Unfortunately I highly doubt it’s fossil. 2.5 inches tall by 2 inches wide. Obviously not fish. I am hoping it’s a marine mammal but suspect it might be dog. Thank you

My money would be on the dog in that fight. It's a shame that morphologically, dog has been bread into a nearly meaningless term though.
