Why would your wife call 911? Was there an emergency? Your landlord isn't allowed to just show up and demand entrance to begin with. Wall to wall carpeting is always a disaster. Just replace it after you leave. It's just going to get messed up again by life before you move out. Yes it's the dog btw and would think its legally in your right to have a dog for disability but not sure when you rent you rent and may have to play by their rules.
