You thought you were home alone? Okay so you have Lassie with you, but will it help?
As per this popular urban legend, the parents of a girl left her alone in the house one night as they had to go out. They asked her to lock the doors and left their family dog at home for the girl’s protection. As night took over, the girl woke up due to the sound of a dripping noise. She got up and went to the kitchen to check all the taps.
She turned the knobs of the taps to check if they were closed and came to her room. She then put her hand below the bed, and the dog licked it reassuringly. After some time, she woke up again because of the same noise. This time too, she went and checked all the taps in the bathroom. She came back and once again put her hand below the bed. The dog licked it one more time and assured her of its presence.
The third time when she heard the dripping sound, she traced it to her cupboard. When she opened the cupboard, she was shocked to see her dog hanging upside down. Its neck had been slithered. A dreadful note, written in blood, was also put up beside its body. “Humans can lick too.”
