[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 662152, member: 13090"] I'll preface this by saying Face Detection is a wonderful thing. Enable it if your camera body supports it. To answer your question more directly, assuming both dog and handler are of equal importance in the shot, I would put my focus on the nearer or the two subjects and let depth of field handle the rest. I can envision wanting to use a shallow DoF to emphasize one over the other, however, depending on the type of shot I'm after. For instance I might focus one way for a standard, "This is Bob and his awesome dog Fido" type of shot, and a different way entirely if I was shooting a shelter dog portrait who's handler needs to be in the shot.
