Stone Sculpture

About 50 years ago in port huron Michigan, while digging up dirt for a garden, I found what seems to be a partial piece of a stone sculpture of a animal. Its about the size of a large mans thumb, a little hallow inside. I was just wondering if it could be part of the Michigan Indian culture. Thank you, for anyone that might give me any information,

Judging by the little flecks in the material, it's pottery. Probably Native American, but I guess it could be a later historic piece that was tumbled/erroded removing any glaze.

What does the back side of it look like?

The first picture reminded me of a Monkey, but the side view looks more like Dog to me. Very cool piece.

Reminds me of a Mississippian Squirrel pottery head.
