The analogy fails not because of the door, but the animal. I live in New Hampshire. I've had black bears on my back porch (in fact, one paid us a visit about 10 days ago). So, Huggy informing me of a dangerous animal lurking outside my door wouldn't be anything out of place because I've encountered dangerous animals at my home before. The existence of them being there is supported by empirical evidence from previous visits - security camera footage (yes, we have a home security system), bird feeders that have been pulled down, claw marks on the porch, etc. So, Huggy's mundane scenario requires no faith on my part.
Now, if he said a dragon was on the other side of the door, I wouldn't believe him. Why? Because there's no evidence that dragons actually exist. If he could provide concrete evidence of the dragon, I'd then be able to believe him.
