Dog returning stick at Laphroaig, Isle of Islay

I played with this dog for a while during a visit to Laphroaig distillery in June 2024, it kept returning various sticks from Loch Laphroaig as I threw them out for it. Not sure if it was local, but it didn’t seem to belong to any of the other visitors around, so I assume it is living somewhere at Laphroaig or nearby on Islay.
