Just as everyone else here, I haven't seen that image before. If I had, however, I'd proabably been more likely to believe it was taken by William Wegman :-D
(PS: "Entire Internet"? Really? I never signed off on that.)
It includes others work as well as Bresson's, I didn't take the blog post as 'gospel' that all shots were HCB's.
The 'everyone' would include Google images which picks out one site image that claims she thought it might be HCB but then says
"(Correction: see Errata: mea culpa regarding the photograph above….it is NOT a Cartier-Bresson!)"
So the Register do a Google search 'Henri Cartier Bresson Girl dog beach' and are surprised that someone else's image shows up?
So 'One of the worlds best loved images is universally wrongly credited to Bresson'?
Hang on Elvis and Buddy Holly are at the door they want to meet Jim Morrison who I'm sipping whisky with–sheesh.
