it's a beautiful animal and with such honorable purpose but the photograph isn't doing it justice. The dog's rear is cropped off and the front of the table is distracting BUT you do have a great setting and background.

this was so challenging for me. She would ONLY look at her owner. I could not call her my way. I was lucky i got this shot. I even thought of cloning in the part I cropped

what do you think of the lighting? (indoor event terrible lighting)

That dog has gorgeous eyes. As Trevor already said, photographically, the image has some issues, but the beauty of the subject overcomes that. Would be really great to see the dog and the vet together doing something, to show their relationship and interaction. Because in the end I think that would be the most beautiful of all.
