Personally, I would never let a pup like that loose in the house if I wasn't there to watch him. He'd be contained in some way so he couldn't get into things and develop bad habits. You really have to watch 'em at that age.

I went back to my place to get the dessert to take to their place. They were there when I arrived, since they returned home right away. I was hoping he had done the 'greeting' routine before I got there.
Keep in mind this 'puppy' is big enough to knock someone down, tear clothing and skin. I don't blame the pup at all, I just think the 'parents' need to restrain him - to show him that when people come in, they are not there for him to maul. Can you imagine when he's full grown and 150 lbs doing this kind of thing?! yikes.
