you dog doesn't look so intimidating, since he looks more friendly, is the point of view, supposed to make him look like a guard dog? or do you mean from a trespasser seeing an intimidating dog? I would try an aerial view of like a person climbing a fence and a wide angle, to get more of the yard in the shot and your dog more as a focal point as they would see him from up high if they were a trespasser.
or frame him through like a chain link fence or something. as the point of view of someone uninvited might not be so up close and personal to your pet.
or a fish eye, to get the dog in the frame like how your would see a guest when ringing say a doorbell.

Is this shot a close up or distant? or cropped at all?
I feel my attention is drawn more to the dustpan in the background then on your dog,which you might want more as the main subject.
I feel this could be great maybe cropped without the dustpan, or the photo taken landscape. rather than held portrait(horizontal rather than the picture being vertical). I ask if the shot is cropped because of the placement of your dog in the frame.
I like the black and white, but feel all the grey of his face and the background there is not much of a focal point. The colors are all grey. where if this was something bright or colorful, it would be where the attention of the eye would land.
My eyes follow the crack in the gravel and go from the bottom right of the frame up to the top left corner.
you can really bring attention to your dog, in the future by watching the distracting background elements.
the dust pan and playing with leading lines to draw the viewer's attention to your pet. as the cracked pavement goes at an angle it sort of leads to your dog, but since he is more in the bottom corner, and all the grey kind of bleeds into each other. I feel my eyes focusing on the dustpan.

in the future I would watch more when composing the shot about those background details. or playing with depth of field to blur out the background and get a sharp focus on your dog.

He is mid yawn/lick chops/talk. Half Pitt bull and half Boxer, Joe talks alot. This is why I only have silly photos of him up. He goes through the funny face routine every time I point a lens.
The dust pan was just there on the back patio because I can never keep up with everything.

You know I was so busy looking at his sweet face 
notice the dustpan 
through funny face routines when you point the camera at him.
I would love to hug him right there lol

He wiggles too much for hugs. lol He gets so happy to see new people as long as I am ok with them. I don't even have to tell him who the baddies are. He just knows when I am not too pleased with certain neighborhood folks.
Here is a more normal looking Joe from the same shoot. I was testing a lens. I just wasn't crazy about the compositions.

Aww I just love those shots of him. He looks like he loves the camera
and he certainly has the looks
they came out wonderful. I especially like the one where you see most of
him. Aww animals know how to wean out the good people from the bad
ones. I still would love to hug him. I get along well with all animals so Joe
might let me get a hug

He would love the affection, but he is very heavy and excited for good people. You might be on the floor getting licked half to death. lol
