Answer
Dear Confused1, your plant is a species of Sonchus (sow-thistle). Dandelion (genus Taraxacum) would not have a leafy leaf as does the plant in your images. I can't see details in the image well enough to tell you which species it is. It appears to be either Sonchus oleraceus (common sow-thistle) or Sonchus asper (spiny-leaved sow-thistle). Best wishes.
