A medium-sized light brown dog, possibly a golden retriever mix, is walking and sniffing the sandy beach. The dog has its nose to the sand, following what appears to be human footprints. The dog walks along the wet sand, close to the water's edge, which can be seen on the left. Several people are visible in the background, further down the beach, near the water. The beach sand is dark, and the sunlight creates clear shadows from the dog and the footprints.
