You have made it very difficult for yourself to get a good image out of this, a very black dog on a very white floor, and an object very close to the lens and also farther away, both intended to be sharp. Now the dog is underexposed, floor overexposed, it would need much softer light, to reduce contrast. Also bouncing back the light to lighten up the head of the dog would have helped, it is now in the shadow. Or take the same picture with the light coming from your back, instead of from the front (wathc youw onw shadow then!!).

Good idea that wasn't done 100 times! If the bacon was a little lower or if it was more in focus, it would have been more fun. It looks like you maybe adjusted the brightness/contrast too much. You might want to try histogram adjustments or levels. They are not as harsh.

I like the humor in this photo but find the exposure lacking in that you have blown out highlights as well as lost detail in the shadows. Lighting is way too harsh and I wish that the bacon strip was also in focus.
