Danielle Cabral didn’t take any chances.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/7c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom went into flight mode this week when a stranger paid an unexpected visit to her home in Sayreville, New Jersey. Danielle shared the moment in a series of July 13 Instagram Stories, which included surveillance footage of her backyard. The video showed the Jersey ’Wife and her family sitting at their outdoor dining table when an unknown dog suddenly entered the frame. 

“Out of all the effin houses a random dog can wander in, it’s MINE!” she captioned the Story.

The video captured Danielle and others immediately jumping on their seats as the furry visitor made his way around the yard. A subsequent Story showed the dog calmly sitting on a short stone wall as Danielle’s 8-year-old son, Dominic, snapped a photo of him.

As seen in the screen grab below, the medium-size canine was wearing a collar and a tag, which presumably listed his name and his owner’s contact information.

Danielle says the dog reunited with his owner

Thankfully, no one was hurt during the incident. The Boujie Kidz founder explained response on July 14, after the dog, Larry, returned to his home.

“I’m here to address the dog situation, OK, ’cause everybody’s [like], ‘Oh, he’s a dog. You’re all scared of him. You’re mean, meh!’” she said in an Instagram Story. “I’m sorry, but if you’re having a nice meal and a random dog walks into your backyard, you know what I’m thinking? Potential ripping off of the face. He’s gonna rip my face off and my children’s face off — there’s children here. We’re all gonna die. That’s where my mind goes, thanks to my mom.”

Danielle — who also shares a 6-year-old daughter with her husband, Nate Cabral — said she eventually contacted Larry’s family and he was picked up later that day.

“We called Larry’s owner,” Danielle told her followers. “She came five hours later to pick Larry up and all is good in the world, OK?” 

Danielle shares her tummy tuck recovery journey

The ordeal took place about a week after the Staten Island native underwent an invasive cosmetic procedure. Danielle documented her road to recovery on social media, where she also explained her decision to get a tummy tuck. Though she claimed to be in “the best shape of [her] life,” the Jersey mom said she was insecure about the excess skin around her abdominal area. 

Danielle discusses her recent procedures with a selfie and a text post.

“I have been tortured by my appearance for years. I hide it well,” she said in a July 9 post. “I’m sure if you’ve watched me this season on [RHONJ], you would have no clue. Thank God we didn’t shoot on the beach. I was so envious of my friends filming in their cute belly-[baring] dresses. I wake up every day at 6 a.m. and work my ass off at [CrossFit] (I’m a literal beast), but there was nothing to fix it. I’ve done every service, every medi spa tried to offer me… and nada.”

Danielle provided another update on July 13 and appeared to be in good spirits.

“All I’m gonna say is this: When this thing gets back up and running, you’re gonna hate being next to me on the beach,” she jokingly said in a video. “I’m gonna wear one of those thongs that go right up cuchinis and all you’re gonna see is a little nipple tassel, and that’s it. I might even bling the belly button… Pain is beauty.”
