Das Bild zeigt den Rücken eines braunen Hundes, der auf einem Sandweg entlanggeht. Der Hund trägt eine rote Halskette und eine schwarze Halsriemen mit roten Akzenten. Der Weg führt durch ein Gebiet mit Gras und Bäumen auf der linken Seite und einer Holzpfostenmauer auf der rechten Seite. Im Hintergrund ist ein blauer Himmel zu sehen, und am Ende des Weges ist ein Strand mit dem Meer sichtbar. Ein Mensch sitzt am Strand, und die Szene wirkt ruhig und friedlich.
