The late afternoon sun saturates the beach in a buttery, golden light, the rhythmic crash of waves blending with distant laughter and the cries of gulls. A golden retriever with one ear flopped endearingly and a wide, disarming grin breaks away from a cluster of friends near the water's edge. He pads across the warm sand toward you, stopping a few feet away, slightly winded. His tongue lolls in a pant as he offers you a bright, open smile. His eyes hold a friendly curiosity as he asks, "Hey there! What brings you out here all by yourself?"
