A beautiful young girl is left alone with her dog to protect her. On the news that night, they announced there is a serial killer on the loose in the area. Before she goes to bed, she locks all the doors and tries to lock all the windows,but the one in the basement wouldn't lock, so she locked the basement door and goes to bed.Her dog takes its customary place under the bed.

In the deep of night she awakens to a dripping sound coming from her bathroom. Half-awake, the girl feels the comforting lick from her dog and falls back to sleep. She reawakens to the dripping sound, reaches her hand down to the dog where she feels the reassuring lick and falls back to sleep. Once more, she awakens to  the dripping sound.She reaches her hand down and feels the lick of her dog.

Now curious about the dripping sound,she gets up and slowly walks towards the bathroom,the dripping sound getting louder as she approaches.She reaches the bathroom and turns on the light. She is greeted by a horrorific sight; hanging from the shower nozzle is her dog with it's throat slit open and it's blood dripping into the bathtub.

Something on the bathroom mirror catches her eyes;she turns around. Written on the wall in her dogs blood are the words:

"Humans can lick too."
