3 candid shots

[JoL]

I'd appreciate your advice on these three. Although I like the subject in each one of those I'm not completely satisfied with the overall result, especially the lady with the dog that doesn't like her (Might be because the shot was taken at eye level which makes it a little bit boring)
Any comments on how to create a bigger impact with these pictures/subjects (e.g. crop, vignette,...)?
Thanks!

The lady and dog image works for me because it tells a story. I might be tempted to fiddle around and crop a bit closer on it but I think it's a great candid shot.
