It looked like one foot of the animal. And they were like 1 or 2 foot apart.

I would have to agree with Polar.  Rabbits sit with two feet side by side in the front.

Looks like a squirrel to me. Rabbit often times have their front pads offset while squirrels are symmetrical. Plus that seems short.

Cottontail to be more precise.  Remember, rabbits and hairs jump or hop for 90% of their movement.  It would look like it was a single foot about 12 inches apart.  But it's a bounding gate.  If it was a larger animal, the strides would be staggard and further apart.

I've seen squirrel tracks that had the front feet offset.  It's rabbit due to the size of the track.
