Bottom clamshell door popped open

Glad the pooch didn't make the news!

Was any damage done? There was an explosive door incident mentioned on this forum awhile back that caused the airplane to be totaled.

I have a P model but no inflatable door seal. Just the factory set up.

I didn't realize the bottom door would even open without the top door opening first.

A rule I learned from an aviation Mentor a long time ago is that the pilot handles closing and opening of all doors on an airplane. Passengers even ones you're married to are not allowed to touch doors. This policy was in effect on all airplanes, not just pressurized ones. In the Bonanza/Baron world, if you don't close the door "just right" it will pop open on initial climb and cause a big stink.
