This was out of the box, default camera settings. (So no live focus, I checked the photo and it had no blur to be adjusted.) Interestingly, it blurred the gravel in the center of the photo (maybe to focus on the dog?).
I find it still doesn't handle black dog fur amazingly, but it's an improvement from my Note 9. Yes, as others noted, capturing anything really low light or moving (or in my house - forever the combination between a black miniature poodle and a charcoal bouvier in Alaska no less) isn't ideal. I blame the setting/subject more than the phone, and while I'm intrigued to hear the Pixel may be better at it for a camera novice, the Note still offers the more overall appealing package for me.
