question Should I, or shouldn't I?




I am in the process of composing a seated portrait of my wife. I've captured a pose with lovely natural light and subject placement; I'm really pleased.

I composed another, similar setting, with our dog (a Basset Hound) in her lap, and the expression on his face is great (not "cute" or "precious", mind you), and he lends a balance and weight to the lower half of the composition.

What's the consenus of including pets in portraits? I see it's done all the time, and I want to blend the best parts of both compositions to create a new one.
