She turned and saw a prince who ran toward her. He told her he would accompany her home because it was too dangerous to walk at that hour of the night in the neighborhood that was completely dark. And he also told her that she was to be careful because there was a dog living in those streets that was very violent and could hurt her. So the prince accompanied her all the way home. But before they arrived, she asked him to see that dog that was so feared. The prince agreed. A street before Stephanie's house, they found the dog.
