Stand Back When the Door Opens

no matter who opens the door
our dog is the first one through it
we are used to this
but she knocks down other people
if they try to come in unaware
she runs out through her doggie door
and beats them back into the house
we try to warn them
but even though she is older
she is quick
and determined
and a Krutsinger dog
used to being first

I can see a stranger's reaction to this kind of canine welcome, especially if they have a fear of dogs!

If they have a fear of dogs they have come to the wrong house
