Nice chap! Thanks for sharing!
Learning Art. I tried to mimic the scene-referred workflow I learned with darktable (I hope I did):
1 - Tweaked exposure until I got the dog (middle grey) the way I wanted
2 - Log Tone Mapping and tweaked it a bit
3 - Tone Equalizer
4 - Local Contrast
5 - Turned on Soft Light to give a boost to the image
6 - Slight dehazing
7 - New Tone Equalizer adjustment
8 - Sharpness, noise reduction
9 - Tone curves to give a slight boost
10 - WB (should have tweaked this at the begining I guess)
11 - Lens correction, resize and export

Lovely shot! Much less of a technical challenge than some Play Raws which is a nice change

I had a lot of trouble with the dog’s right eye. When everything else looked right, it just went to black. I finally just gave up.

@sls141 I like your edit!
It seems that this image was shot in a studio where the dog stands in front of a false, painted background.
Or that he is a movie star in a studio, ready to take action.
Nice and funny!

Minimalist take.
Workflow
PhotoFlow: blend HL, RCD, lens corr
G’MIC: resize, afre_darksky x3, afre_brightness x7, afre_localcontrast x5 and afre_crop.
G’MIC Notes
1 Since I often repeat my commands, I may add this as a feature.
2 afre_brightness Using another method but it may be available soon.
3 afre_localcontrast Different again, using several scales. May add.
4 afre_crop I have multiple versions of this. None of them are available yet.

I guess dog kings can be dreamy too. 
I am not usually into dog pictures, but this one is really nice!

Wow, some really nice versions! I’m always impressed how others can come up with a look I hadn’t thought of, being able to see how each was created good to be able to learn from.
