The first would be my pick but it could probably benefit from an increased DOF... as could the rest. Try to get nose, eyes and ears in focus. If I were to compromise the focus of one of those elements it would be the ears... nose leads into eyes...
You have some interesting shots in your FlickR gallery. "Lexi reflecting" is a nice portrait (except that his face is lit from the wrong angle). Beach shots like "Me and My Shadow" hold promise. << This is something that I would pursue further... interesting shots in interesting places.
Cheers
Edit: I should not have posted this in its original form while I was tired, sick and cranky. My apologies to Norbs, my words were unnecessarily harsh.

No offence taken. Annoyance maybe, but offence, nope. Just curious as to why you singled my group of photos out? Day in, day out, I see photos which I would consider not worth the energy to post on the net, let alone a reviews and critiques forum, and yet I don't say so as obviously the poster has thought them worthy of exposure. They, like me maybe looking for reviews and critiques. Had you only posted the last 2 paragraphs, I would have been fine with your post, as they are exactly what I was after.
Seeing as I am a reasonably new forum member, I don't know you, and after having a search, I couldn't find any photos posted by you. So I have no idea what sort of photo you take, therefore, might find interesting. What you find interesting might bore the arse off me. And funnily enough, there may be others who do actually like the photos or have an interest in dogs.
If a photo isn't meant to draw "an emotional response from a memory", I assume you are of the thinking that photography is purely about art. And if thats the case, your photos would certainly bore the arse off me.
