Tongue Terror

There was once an old lady who lived alone in a house with her dog.  It followed her everywhere with one exception, the dog is not allowed  to sleep on the bed with her. It slept at the foot of the bed instead. If the old lady was frightened, she would reach out to the dog and it would lick her hand reassuringly.

One night, she couldn't  sleep,  so she reached down where the dog slept. Sure enough,  a warm,  wet tongue began licking her hand. The woman felt safe and left her hand dangling off the bed as she opened her eyes for a moment and looked at the open door in the living room.

There at the door sat her dog,  gazing at her with its wagging tail. Down beside her bed,  something was still licking her hand.
