No matter what is happening, put your dogs up before calling 911.

Don’t ask 911 for help.

Dogs are shot in bathrooms, in owner’s bedrooms or other rooms in the house.

“Put your dogs up” assumes that the LEO will give you the benefit of the doubt if it learns that your dog is contained in your bathroom/laundry room/bedroom, etc, and not shoot it upon opening the door.
