To me, the first issue is color temp. while the coat may be bluish-black at its darkest, it looks too blue as shown. I chose a point on the nose for a potential neutral black. I think the noses generally have less blue than might be mixed in on the coat.
I agree with attempt to recover some highlights and needs some selective sharpening of the eyes, tongue. I also reduced some of the vibrance, feeling the grass was too rich and detracting for the subject.
More could be done with more time, larger file, etc. The mood is great but the image is a bit soft and whites not well controlled.
Below is a quick LR4 re-work with some screen shots, taken from your web-posted version.
First brush was for the legs, second for the eyes, tongue.
In addition I added a bit of vignette (not shown)
