Call me what you want, but I dont see difference between the dynamic range of 
both pictures.

All I see is different approach to exposure:

1.  In the dog case, the photographer choose to preserve the detail in the 
shadows at the expense of the highlights

2.  In the cat case, the photographer choose to preserve the detail in the 
highlights at the expense of the shadows.

I do think however, that photographer numero uno has chosen not to apply as 
much sharpening (if at all) to the image as the second photographer did.
