A golden retriever puppy lies motionless on a rocky beach, its head resting on the pebbled shore near the water's edge. The puppy's eyes are closed, and its body is limp, suggesting it may have drowned or been washed ashore. The scene is a stark contrast between the lifeless pup and the tranquil blue ocean in the background, creating a poignant and heartbreaking image.

Hiking Trail Finds Puppy on Rocky Beach

Met the cutest little #puppy while #hiking the "Serro do Topo" trail on #SaoJorge in the #Azores. The trail is a mix of Atlantic Ocean, #mountains, villages and, apparently, adorable #dogs! This is one of 7+ hiking trails on the island -- although there are countless ways to explore #nature. The #island is covered by 80% green, so even a drive around the island introduces you to natural #beauty!
