Yikes. They're very different pictures. My preference depends on what other pictures are being used, and what story/message the photo(s) are intended to tell.
1) If Freeway, the happiest dog picture is also being used, I lean toward the first shot, with Freeway and Ocean touching each other.
2) If it's a one-fer intending to convey a straightforward service animal shot, I'd go for the second picture, since it shows Freeway's alertness (and those wonderful ears!). The way Ocean is looking at Freeway, and Freeway is looking at the world, illustrates the surface of the service-animal role.
3) The first photo better shows the complexity of the service animal relationship, with mutual trust and the care Ocean gives to Freeway being the predominate themes. It also looks more like a straight "pet" picture that the other one showing both of them.

That's what I see. Hope the comments help.
