Thank you guys. If you may wondered about the words the sitting guy has on back, it`s a kind of word play taken from kids card play meaning "house by and down", something alike in poker when you miss on "full house". It`s the name of organization involved with homeless issue and printing monthly magazine called "Hus forbi". . It`s sold by the homeless that get 8Dkr. of of the price of 20Dkr.
Up to Christmas time it`s printed in 100.000 issues , there are some 1000 sellers . The sellers get the warm cloth and booths when needed and these yellow weatherproof bags. It`s nonprofit organization started in 1996, supported at start by public and private donations. Now it`s self sustained with small profit that goes to support of the homeless people.
 
Great shot that tells a story - very clever using the guy with his hand flat pushing the door...it sort of says the door is partly open but not for you - stop! Or may be 'I was coming out of this shop then I saw you and felt a bit guilty so stopped'....can 'hus forbi' use this image? Would make a very provocative charity Christmas card. I also admire the look on the face of the dog - seriously fed-up.

Caught in the right moment. The man going out is a strong moment in the story.

All said already above! Just the dog watching his masters back certainly adds to the tale...
