Whit Whitford, 24, of Stumpy Point plays with his black Labrador

retriever puppy on the beach near Jennette's Fishing Pier in Nags

Head on Wednesday. ``I didn't let him get in the water because it

was so cold, but you can bet he'll make a beeline for it when it

warms up,'' he said of 8-month-old Max.
