I think you did fine. You didn’t ask the cops to actually come to your house, but merely to report the threat.
And the shots go on.......

Russell later walked KXAN through his home and mapped out what happened.
“They said they came in and said ‘Round Rock Police, Round Rock Police,’ they said
they cleared this room, they cleared this room. My dog still hadn’t moved at that
time, because he’s a real gentle dog,” Russel said. “They said they got here and
one officer turned and looked to this room he looked this way and my dog was standing
up on the futon…and they said at that time he jumped off the futon and they shot
him seven, they shot him seven times, hitting him five times. But ironically,
if they shot him here, there’s two bullet holes at the bottom of the baseboard
where he usually lays.”

Round Rock Police commander Jim Stuart said the dog was barking and growling
before lunging at an officer.
One of the officers fired a single shot; the second officer fired six rounds. Stuart
said the dog kept coming at them after being shot the first time.
