The dog is "Brae", a bearded collie. The setting is the porch of the Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport, ME, where the Bearded Collie Club of America was holding a national specialty. Brae had been entered in several specialty events, and he was relaxing from a grueling day on the porch watching the setting sun. I was captivated by his sereneness, and I enhanced the image to make the scene appear as serene as Brae.
