She said this happened a couple of months ago, so it probably predates their dog.

I'm not sure what else you could have done differently, other than to have a land line. But even a land line can get cut and might be useless in such a situation.

One thing occurs to me.... randomoutburst, does your bedroom have a window onto a back yard which could have been accessed by the police? If so, maybe you could have had the dispatcher instruct and officer to come to the rear window, and you could hand the keys out to him/her so they could let themselves in the front door while you stayed out of the way in the bedroom.

Just a thought...
