  Use lattice.  You can have them cut it in half so it's about two feet tall instead of four, and line the perimeter of your porch with it.  I did this with my fenced in back yard because there was a hole.  It's kind of cheap, like $20 a piece, but if you cut it in half you have twice as much.  We got the plastic kind so it won't wear with the weather.  
 I'm so glad your pup survived that unharmed!!!
