There was a woman living in a house in the countryside. She lived alone except for a golden retriever called "nugget." This woman was afraid of the dark, so much so that every night, nugget would lie down next to her bed and lick her hand to reassure her.
One night she went to bed as usual and the dog started licking her hand. Then she suddenly heard a crash coming from the bathroom down the hall. So, she walked across the hall and looked around the bathroom. There was nothing there except for a shampoo bottle that had fallen off the shelf. So she walked back to her bedroom and got back into bed, the dog started licking her hand again and she went back to sleep.
A few hours later she woke up to a loud noise outside, the dog was still licking her hand as she went to the window, outside was the body of her dead golden retriever nugget and in his blood was written: "Not only dogs can lick."
