What Animal Left These Large Prints In Front Of Our Garage?

I went to get windshield washer fluid from our garage when I noticed these footprints coming from one side of the garage, stopping in front of the garage door and continuing around the garage and away from the property. They were quite large, about 5-7 cm in total diameter. Does anyone recognize these prints?:

[Edit: A friend of mine suggested lynx.]

Are these too large to be the footprints of a fox? Foxes are quite common in city parks let alone the suburbs here. Of a large dog that got unleashed for a moment? Or of a wolf? Wolves are very, very rarely seen in southern Finland. They are typically spotted in rural areas but we live in a suburb. I showed these pictures to @gamer00 and he figured the prints were probably left by a dog that ran away from its owner. 

Note that we do not have stray dogs in this country. I've never seen a stray dog in Finland.

A fox is not that big and is normally the size of a medium dog. I would say @gamer00 is probably right unless it is a big fox. You don't have any wolves around that part do you?

There are only 165-190 wolves in the entire country, the size of which is about 330,000 km<sup>2</sup>. I made a Facebook post for crowdsourcing purposes on this and a friend of mine suggested that it could be a lynx. That's a pretty good guess. I compared the prints to lynx those of lynx and it looks like a pretty good candidate. Check those footprints out: https://www.flickr.com/groups/1386715@N23/

Looks similar in size and a close match.  Obviously out looking for food.
