If the bright spots were absent there would be too much negative space at the bottom (in this format anyway).

Great shot of the dog, looks very relaxed and at peace with the world.

Completely agree. Leave it as is or change the crop / format.

I like this a lot and agree with both the collar comments as above, I'm also wondering if a very slight ( 2 or 3 percent ish ) shadow lift would add that final touch.

A brilliant photo (pun not intended).

Fair points above, but in spite of that a really nice capture. Handsome fella isn't he?
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Thanks for your thoughts. Things to think about...
Don't let his good looks fool you, though. We're not happy with him at the moment. He's just eaten a quarter of a loaf of bread when left alone for a short while. First time he's done that since we got him 8 months ago. And I bet it won't be the last time...

Looks like he is a Staffy. That breed is renowed for chewing everything. Ours is our third one, two cross breeds and one full Staffy. All good fun.

Interesting. He's actually a lurcher i.e. a cross between a greyhound and goodness knows what. Based on no information other than his face/head we thought that there could be Staffy in his genes, but we've never owned a Staffy and have no idea about his parentage (he was 6 years old when we got him). So to hear a Staffy owner say that makes me think there really must be Staffy in him. He generally doesn't chew things but will if he's anxious. We've learned that if we go out without him, we must leave him with some paper bags in the recycling box and expect to find shredded bags strewn across the floor when we return .Looks like he is a Staffy.

Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as usual. In particular, your thoughts on the bright spots on the collar would be appreciated. Leave as is, remove by cropping just above them or remove by cloning them out?
