"Our officers observed the broken pane of glass next to the front door with the dog inside the home," Essmann said. "They were unable to make verbal contact with anyone inside the home.
"The officers were able to make entry into the home, where they located the resident who suffered an unknown medical event. It appears the resident may have been there for an extended period of time.
"Medical personnel were dispatched to the home and the patient was transported to a local hospital for treatment," the chief said.
The dog had a "very minor injury" on a front paw from breaking the pane, he said.
