So I'm watching TV..

...and sitting on my couch relaxing. All of the sudden my two cats come flying into the room from the porch and haul ass down the hall towards the bedroom. A split second later, a huge dog comes tearing through my living room following my cats.
The dog isn't mine. The porch is screened.
So.. as I'm yelling at the dog and trying to make sure that (A) it doesn't eat my cats and (B) it doesn't try to attack me, I'm not even really thinking about being pissed off. But now that the guy that was taking his dog for a walk has his dog back and left, and my cats and I are ok.. I'm rather fucking pissed off.
(A) There's a huge hole in my porch screen now
(B) If the stupid fucking owner was holding onto the dog, I don't see how it could have gotten through the screen, out of his grasp and then ran through my apartment
(C) If it had caught one of my cats, I'd not only be saddened, but I would have lost any similarity to humanity and restraint that kept me from attacking the dog or owner
(D) If it had attacked me, I would have turned it into a pile of meat
Also, luckily I was in shorts and a shirt - but if I hadn't been dressed, and all the sudden had a strange dog in my apartment - what am I going to do? Tell the owner to hold on outside and let the dog wander around while I get dressed? It's 12 fucking 30 in the morning. It's been nice here weather wise, and I had my sliding door to the porch open and the cats were chilling on the porch as they always do. Yes, I can understand the dog pulling the owner towards the porch screen if he saw/smelled them - but for the dog to actually break through the screen clearly indicates to me that it was walking freely. The screen literally has a hole in it - it's not like it came out from the little rubber sealing and has a flap open.. it's torn in the middle.
So tomorrow I'm going to go lose my mind at the leasing office. Any creative suggestions for things to say, things to demand, ways to express my complete livid anger? Are there any legal things to threaten the apartment complex with? Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sue them, but fuck if I don't want them to do something about it. I mean fuck, some huge pit bull looking type thigh-high dog was running around my apartment at 12:30 am..
What would you have done?
