Hehe btw-this is not my dog but he looked very sad and yet cute at the same time....so i waited for him to finnish barking at me and then i took the shot........
i think it even with the backround the way it is counts as a portrat but not may agree.....it is more of a candid portrat or a classical art shot then a really studioised portrat.
anyway just though i would give an explination

Interesting technique (lens baby or something?) - this is evocative and delivers a good sense of context and character. Not your typical portrait so good on you! I just wish you had him off-centre in the comp.
I love the context here-the background really adds to my sense of him/her. I like your crop a lot, not crazy about the shadowinng on the sides. Overall really like this shot.
Nice effect on the shot but the dog is such a small part of the overall picture it ends up fighting for your attention. The lack of details on the dog is also a bit of a let down. A 4
I love the outfit, and the black and white. However, I wish it was a bit closer. As a best friend, he looks a little sad to be tied up and so far away - probably just because he wondered what you were up to behind the camera - but it I would have prefered to see him much more close - to be able to see into his eyes a bit more. 8
