Some dogs enjoy the beach. Zebby appears to have decided it is where he belongs.
The Golden Retriever is winning over animal lovers online after a sweet video captured him soaking up everything he loves about a day by the water.
With the ocean stretching out in front of him and a beautiful sunset filling the sky, Zebby looks completely content as he takes in the view.
“Just a boy and his beach,” his owner wrote in the caption.
That pretty much sums it up.

Golden Retrievers are famously enthusiastic about water, thanks in part to their history as sporting dogs bred to retrieve game from lakes and other wet environments. Many still seem naturally drawn to swimming, splashing and just being near the water.
Zebby certainly looks like he got the memo.
The video shows the handsome Golden relaxing along the shoreline while modeling different bandanas that perfectly match his laid-back beach personality.
But it is his expression that really steals the show.
Zebby wears the kind of enormous, peaceful smile that makes it easy to imagine exactly what he is thinking.
He looks like a dog who knows life is good.
Viewers quickly fell in love with the happy pup.
One commenter joked that Zebby might think the ocean view is beautiful, but viewers think he is even prettier.
Another person praised his family for giving him the chance to experience so many of the things he clearly loves.
And for Zebby, that seems to mean plenty of trips to the beach.
There is something especially sweet about seeing a dog completely relaxed in his favorite place.
Whether it is the smell of the salty air, the sound of the waves or simply getting to explore outside with his family, Zebby appears to be enjoying every second.
Golden Retrievers are known for their cheerful personalities, but this pup takes happiness to another level when his paws hit the sand.
He does not need a fancy toy or complicated game.
Give Zebby a beach, an ocean view and one of his stylish bandanas, and he seems perfectly happy.
