A small, golden-orange Pomeranian dog stands on a dark grey volcanic sand beach, facing directly towards the viewer. Its fur appears wet and somewhat matted, with fine dark sand or debris clinging to its muzzle and chest. The dog casts a distinct shadow to its right, indicating strong direct sunlight. In the foreground to the left, footprints are visible in the sand. The background consists of large, steep, grey rock formations or cliffs, characteristic of volcanic geology. Near the base of these cliffs, a small red object is partially visible on the sand, along with scattered white specks. This scene is located at Praia Formosa in Funchal, Portugal.
