A tan and white dog stands out on a sloped rock formation in Mendocino County. It wears a red harness connected to a green leash, its tongue lolling in evident delight. The surrounding area is full of lush greenery, providing a striking contrast to the dog's light-colored coat and creating a memorable scene for anyone exploring this picturesque natural setting with their pet.
