The great looking model takes focus away from the dog. Great photo though.

The title made me think of the song with the same name, LOL!

A girl and her best friend, a black dog, a very hard to capture on film or digital black animal. I know, there are 4 black horses at the barn and 2 black cats in my home and it's pure luck when I get a good shot of them, LOL!

I like the idea but it's not really about friends or pets and their owners, it's more the pets themselves. The back lighting is a bit too much, just a slight smudgen too much, causing the dark dog to look even darker with no real defining feature. Cut the girl out, play with the levels and you got a contender there! As is a 6

I'm bumping this up. I would have liked a little more detail on the left of the dog.
