Harbor seals are found along many coastlines in the northern hemisphere.

They can be gray to brown in color, with darker spots or circles over the body.

Sometimes harbor seals are called sea dogs, and the name rightly suggests their having a disposition akin to a family pet. You often find them fishing close to shore or around harbors and other areas where fishermen bring home their catch of the day.
