Cute. Seems more likely to appear in a photo album than a magazine cover, though. Focus is a little off on pup's face, and shouldn't he have a cell phone? ;-)
Humourous shot, although this looks too much like a snapshot for it to be effective as a magazine cover. Because you are using average metering with a bright background, the picture is underexposed. You should have exposed for the dog's coat.
Interesting idea but theres not enough detail on the dog's "face"
(I'm writing this to everyone who submitted a landscape shot) The challenge was to produce a shot worthy of a magazine cover but to me a shot like this is not suitable to be put on a "portrait" format magazine.

Due to forum discussions and accusations that marking landscapes down is nitpicking, I'm going through them and remarking. I still think some of the landscapes would not make good covers because of their orientation but I am no longer marking down because of that.
I still think landscape is inapropriate for the majority of magazines but I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the photographers.
