With the drop shadow you added it looks like your zebra is against a wall, why did not you keep the original shadow by shortening it? there is also a small transition problem between the animal's back and mane.
You can go a shade darker, just make sure you stay super close to the paws then match the darkness along the edge of the pavement and that will bring the puppy to ground. Oh hells bells, it looks great and I suck at explaining stuff... hehehe .. the trick to grounding is getting the edge of the subject (in this case the puppy paws) to match shade darkness with the background (in this case the pavement)... I always think about how car tires look like they are stuck to the road because the edge of the tire is the same shade/color as the road.. (oh lord do I babble)

This time I think the dog is grounded. Else I would have nailed him to the road. A black line is better than a nail, don't you think? And by the way I love your babble. Thanks again.
My big thing was just put a black disk under each foot and then GAUSS blur the crap out of it to balance.. babble babble.. you can adjust percent to match the balance.. yadda yadda yadda... hehehe... Once again.. it's a perspective to the individual... hehehe
