I was amazed when I saw the original because of the green in her eyes. Normally, it isn't there and I didn't add it. Buffy is a very sweet dog and this is an unusual expression for her. She really was perturbed when she saw me come to her with the camera and scarf.

I think a portrait setup here would have set this up nicer, at least to me. And maybe a tighter crop. Seems a little out of focus but since I haven't calibrated nor recalibrate my monitor, nor had my eyeglasses upgraded for a long time, I might be wrong about that. Nice looking dog!
The scarf is a cute idea, but the green pupils are tough to look at. If you did that on purpose I'm not sure it's the most flattering look for the dog; if you didn't do it on purpose I recommend bouncing your flash or diffusing it, and if you still get green pupils desaturate them to a greyer color and then burn them to look realistic.
I'm assuming since this is advanced editing that you meant for the eyes to be green, but I thing the scarf is the right amount color and you should have left puppy natural.
The high contrast and green eyes are a bit much for my taste. I think the black background is a good idea, but the light looks harsh. It's a cute dog though ... love those ears!
