Beach games

We spotted this lovely dog at Oriental Parade today. He (or she) was having a wonderful time, digging in the sand, burying a large stick, running toward the sea, then back to its humans, then to the buried stick which was retrieved and tossed (by the dog) into the water, then to be swum for and brought back to land. The owners seemed to be taking little notice, but we were astonished by the energy and excitement of the dog, and the way its humans did not react. Lots of energy burned off here: I think this must be a relief for the family...
