I really do like the shot. The processing was too overwhelming for me, but that is something you can always go back in change. I think you should play around a little more with this one...it's certainly a keeper, Penny!
Lots of interesting elements in this. Processing goes a little too far because you've lost too much highlight detail, but I appreciate the high contrast approach. Maybe try cropping in slightly on both left/right sides, not enough to obscure the naked mannequin on the right, but enough to bring image edge closer to fire hydrant on left.
The title doesn't fit for me as neither one of them appears to be looking at it, the bright highlights have lost some detail in both their faces too but it's a cute shot, lovely little doggy.
