Mom answered the door late at night to weird noises at the door. Since she got there first and it was a windy night, I had just assumed it was nothing. (EDIT:The dog has a tendancy to dream something's at the door and freak out, or hear leaves rustling and it seemed at first this was what happened.) I was just holding the dog in case it was an animal or something outside so that the dog wouldn't crash through the screen and run outside. She looked through the peephole and grabbed the phone and apparently called the police. I asked what it was and she didn't answer right away.
Turns out it was a crying woman asking to use our phone. Since mom was already on the phone with the police, and didn't recognize her, she refused. But wouldn't let me near the door to talk to her. I got a glance of her out the window and recognized her as a woman from down the street, but by the time I convinced mom to let me out to talk to her she was already gone. I heard noise down the road of a slamming door and some yelling but couldn't place what house it was, as we thought she had left in the other direction and wasn't looking the right way to see anything. I also didn't remember what house I had seen her from before as it was over a year ago.
Since mom didn't recognize her at all, and I didn't know what house the noises came from police couldn't do anything when they arrived. I hope she's alright and am sad that I couldn't do more. (EDIT: Mom tells me that she smelled alcohol on her and that she was probably just drunk and came to the wrong house but I'm less convinced.)
