Unfortunately male dogs can smell females in heat up to two miles away and they will try to break in. It is the responsibility of the owner of the male dog to keep him under control. I would call the police telling them that this stray dog is damaging your house and trying to get in and you need it moved as you are also afraid that it may attack you. I am not sure if they will do this, however since property damage is involved, they just might take the case.
