A light brown dog with white facial and paw markings, wearing a blue collar, is lying on a sandy beach in Tambon Ko Tao, Thailand. Its front paws are crossed, and it holds a light-colored wooden stick vertically in its partially open mouth, looking towards the upper right. The background features a calm, light blue-green body of water meeting the sandy shore, bordered by dark vegetation or debris. A dense treeline of palm trees covers a distant hillside, with a string of yellow lights visible along the far shoreline. Several indistinct human figures are seated or reclined on the sand in the mid-ground to the right. The scene is illuminated by soft, low-light conditions.
