Recently, Porter appeared on a podcast where she recounted the frightening incident. She credited her dog for the safety of her and her family that night. In her words, “Our dog Stella saved us … She scared them away, so they didn’t get in.”
She described the situation, saying, “I was asleep, but Ollie heard Stella barking in a different way. So he went to check on her, and when he looked outside … the lights [on the security system] were off.”
In addition, she explained how police and her relatives promptly arrived at their home. Continuing, she added, “We were even looking to get another dog because we thought, you know, that was so brilliant, what Stella did. We joke that we’ve given her a wage and a security badge.”
