Subject in sun and shade. How best to balance this type of shot?

any tips of shooting a subject that is half in and half out of the shadow. Obviuosly, the camera can only cope with the shadow or sun, how do you get a well balanced shot.
See example attached.

"What's that? Is he edible?"

Since 90% is in the shadow, and he's the subject, just balance for that, and let the rest be washed out.

That's just an opinion. Others might differ.
