The "mole" was about 6 inches long, light brown in color and soft to the touch.

I took it away from him because I had heard from scuttlebutt that they poison such critters on the Villages' golf course??? There were not any wounds on the "mole" and it was only about an inch from the surface underneath a clump of grass when my dog pulled it out.

You might want to be careful when walking your pooches near postal centers if indeed such critters are poisoned.
Good reason to let your dog make his usual rounds in your own lawn rather than our postal center.
