When it goes wrong - cheat lol
While fiddling around experimenting with ISO I found out what did`nt work 
but being a stubborn mare I was determined to find the dog in the pic and make her visible 
Just using exposure and colour fix did`nt work because there was just too much noise to try to remove by the time it was tweaked so I went for exposure improvement, then a black and white with soft glow effect, and an exposure improvement then sepia.
Totally imperfect shot, handlers head and shoulders are out of frame, dogs face is partially blocked by the pole, netting and supports not neat and tidy, a complete wreck of a shot iow
but there is something about the imperfections that I quite like in the edited versions 
The original
B&W with soft glow
Sepia
If anyone wants to have a play around with it please do, I would love to see alternatives

'Shoppage is the future, polished many a turd since I began photomataking.
This isn't a turd however, just a little under exposed. My take on it:

I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 to adjust the midtones and achieve this result.

Loving all the alternatives for effects and fixes, thank you 
I might see how they look together as a Pop Art type A4 collage to print out for the handler, I know she would be thrilled to bits that people she does`nt even know have taken the time and thought to work on a pic of her lovely doglet the way you guys have done
