The above image was shot before I knew what I was doing with my camera...it is one of my favorite memories...can someone suggest some steps to improve this in photoshop? Especially removing the red-eye, which I have not quite figured out how to eliminate in older photos.

Thank you!!!

  Clone tool/rubber stamp tool.
It's easy. Activate the clone tool, select an area as your source to clone by holding down the alt button and left click with the mouse. Using a brush size slightly feathered on the edges and not using it at 100% opacity so you can gradually darken it I find makes it come out more natural looking.
The dark background of the floor would be a good clone source.

  You should crop it in tight on the dog. Nothing behind the dog adds to the photo so eliminate it.
