Hyena Dog

We meet this fella sometimes on the beach, he barks a bit, he'll follow you up the beach, then if someone is coming the other way he may peel away and follow them. He's a quiet fella, looks a bit like a hyena, not sure who owns him, but he was wearing a harness today, so someone does.
The beach was covered in foam today and the sea was wild, a good way to end a turbulent year. Here's hoping for better for all of us in 2022.
