I Hope you don't mind but I took a shot this photo. I did this in a couple of minutes by creating 2 layers then deleting all of the parts in the top layer I did not want to brighten. Next I took the top layer and adjusted the exposure +2.54, Offset -0.0059, and Gamma Correction 0.96. I also reduced the red saturation by -19 to get rid of some of the orange on his arms and legs.
If you're not happy with my working on the picture I'll delete it.
I really like the picture as it is.... I get the look of a man and his dog taking a break from the heat of the sun.... No need to brighten things up.... The sky, mountains, and soil look normal to me.... The darkness of the man and dog show them cooling off.... JMHO....
