The Dog’s Lick

August 21st, 2008 by WHO WAS PHONE?

A young girl is left home alone with only her dog to protect her. When night approaches, she locks all the doors and tries to lock all the windows, but one won’t close. She decides to leave it unlocked and goes to bed. Her dog takes its customary place under her bed.

In the deep of night she awakens to a dripping sound coming from the bathroom. The girl is too scared to go check so she reaches her hand under the bed. She feels a reassuring 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 horrific sight; hanging from the shower nozzle is her dog, with its throat slit open and its blood dripping into the bathtub.

Something on the bathroom mirror catches her eye she turns around. Written on the bathroom mirror in her dog’s blood are the words “HUMANS CAN LICK TOO”.


I remember reading a version of this when I was in grade school, except I think the girl was at a slumber party and the murderer killed all the girls except her (why he spared just her, who knows). It freaked me out for days, and I didn’t even have a dog at the time! So for the sake of nostalgia, here you go. Thanks go out to the person who emailed this to me.

    Classic.

  2. Xantherian

    I’ve always loved this creppypasta, but the end sentence in this sort of ruins the mood.
    I think you should take it off to keep us wondering what was under the bed.

  3. Xantherian

    *creepypasta

  4. kiriou

    BUT WHO WAS HAND-LICKER?

  5. Dog

    Dumb bitch couldn’t even tell the difference between me and some human. WTF?

    It’s not like the facial structure and tongue are completely different, is it?

    Nah, this one is a classic. Silly, but a classic. I still like the version where the dog barks from outside while she’s still got her hand down getting licked, though. Leaves on a slightly more horrifying note.

  6. Reptilian Liar

    Funny…
    Wait, it’s not supposed to be.

  7. dark times

    This one I have heard before and it is a classic. It’s more silly then scary though but if I was a little kid I would say it would be scary.

    @Dog

    You win an Internet. -^_^-

    BUT WHO WAS DOG?!

  10. Foolish

    Slumber party nostalgia. It never makes for good creepy. However, it is a classic.

  11. Dru

    Dude…I read this one in I think …Teen magazine when I was something like 15. Scared me for life, along with the “There were no foot prints in the snow. It was his reflection” one.

  12. Anonymous

    I’ve never quite gotten that “There were no foot prints in the snow. It was his reflection” one. It’s such a difficult mistake to make.

  13. Mr. Pink

    I’m with Anon #12. It does seem like a hard to make mistake

  14. Anonymous

    Absolute classic. One of my all-time favorites.

  15. Lavistria

    I believe the slumber party one is where the girl is left alive because it’s her birthday; written on the wall with what is presumably the other girls blood is something like “Happy Birthday from your local psychopath”.

    I love the last sentence, when I first read this a while ago, I shuddered and a chill went down my spine.

    This is much better written than the other version I read - there’s also one about a blind woman. She calls her nephew over to sort the dripping out, and he discovers the mauled dog.

    I agree with comment #14!

  16. Xantherian

    I hate to point this out, but it says “Something on the bathroom mirror catches her eye she turns around”.
    I didn’t notice it the first time.

  17. LALALALALA.... THE DEVIL!!

    Ahah, my friend told me this story before
    Except like she added some little details in, about how the girl had just moved into a new house and she got a whole floor to herself, including the bathroom, but she didn’t like the bathroom so she went and used her parents… And since she was so afraid her parents got her a dog
    And supposedly, the dripping went on for like a week…
    And the face that she told me that it was a real story and I was seven freaked me out too
    xD

    When I first heard this story when I was a kid it scared the every living shit out of me. To be honest, it still kinda has that effect.

  19. MooMoon

    Xantherian……..go fetch me a fresh pillow from the bush ….LOL
    —–
    um creepy!

  20. Frozen

    I heard this one before, I was like O_O when I heard it. Pretty creepy

  21. PhantomWolf

    Ahh~ I submitted it~ Hehe…It scared me and made me have nightmares. WWP I read that version.

  22. AXN

    You can’t have submitted it. I submitted it.

    NO, I’M SPARTACUS!

  23. meowmixkid

    I’ve heard one where the girl is babysitting two kids and the dog and the murderer got the three and left the sitter, and the note said “Not only a dog can lick your hand at night” O_o

  24. Hand Licker

    I was a wee bit hungry

  25. CAT

    I think it should be “A CAT IS FINE TOO”…

  26. DJ LoONa

    …so…whoever killed her dog just sat under her bed and kept licking her hand?…LAME!
    btw the last two sentences make NO sense…something in the bathroom mirror catches her eye, so she turns around and loox at the bathroom mirror???
    plz fix
    k thanx

  27. Igets it...Sorta

    I always thought that the last message meant the girl was supposed to lick back or something, but now relaize that doesnt make sense. So, it all comes toghter now. Yay!

  28. MVO

    Bad ending in my opinion. This is how I would have ended it.

    Written on the bathroom mirror in her dog’s blood are the words “LOLCATS can lick too”

  29. Anonymous

    xD
    I prefer the one with out the mirror ending.
    I lyke cliffhangers.

  30. ChaosIllusion

    Man, I first heard this one when I was a kid. (Aaah, slumber parties.) Scared the shit out of me.

    Now, I’m 18 and it STILL creeps me out! I have a nice little poodle who sleeps by me at night and occasionally licks me. Plus there’s a bathroom right off my bedroom… O_O

    Crap, there goes tonight’s sleep. XD

  31. shortys roc my sox

  32. LP

    @ DJ LoONa

    Idk why, but your comments always manage to piss me off. Stop complaining, or use your time and money to pay for the site that you seem not to like :/.

  34. DJLoONa

    @ uncle anon
    sorry but i really don’t care if what i say pisses you off
    it’s called an opinion and i can complain if i want; if you don’t like it well then i’m sorry…just omit my comment from your memory
    it really isn’t that hard.
    l8er

  35. DJLoONa

    sorry uncle anon
    i guess that response was kind of rude of me
    i just don’t see why an opinion i have can ‘manage to piss you off’
    i’ll try and be a little less…me
    and well i guess that’s it…=\
    sorry again

  36. shortys roc my sox

    @ Uncle Anon,

    this is stupid so some one has an opinnion and you just get pissed off and argue it were supossed 2 post comentes bout if we like the story or not if DJLo0Na doesn’t like a part of the story thats his opinnion. what if i said Anon is a really wierd name are u gonna get mad it me 4 haveing an opinnion

  37. Cloneclone

    I agree with Uncle Anon… And if you’re going to dis a story, at least take the time to write your words out.

  38. j.the.killer

    No, dude, it’s scary because of what it implies is waiting for you after you find the note in blood.

    I freaked the fuck out. I think the ending, although a little messed up wording wise, was amazing. It fucked me up just because it’s so menacing. Someone was watching you, knowing that’s what you did, and planned this out just to make it especially horrifying. Putting your trust in the psychopath under your bed that’s pretending to be your dog, licking your hand, and then finding the dog you trusted to protect you dead in the bathroom and knowing the person who killed it and posed as it was waiting just outside the door for you…

    No matter what age you are, that’s fucked.

  39. Midnightgirl

    aww poor doggy :( this is a really really creepy story i wonder what happens too the girl next?

  40. ....omg.

    creeps me right the fuck out

  41. Anon

    Haha, this one. I heard it a few times in elementary school. Which I guess makes it my first creepypasta.

  42. Fwaa

    that wasn’t what the note said! this is what it said “Wash your hands more, please.”

  43. shortys roc my sox

    @ fwaa

  44. shortys roc my sox

    omk lol

  45. Tyto

    o.O Holly shit. Now this, I liked. Very much so. One of my favorite creepypastas now.

  46. Bunghole

    Um for the record,the last paragraph does in fact make sense..
    She sees something ONNN the bathroom mirror out the corner of her eye,so she turns around fully TO LOOK AT IT to see the writing properly.

    ft.

  47. fuckwqasked

    last paragraph about mirror makes absolute sense you fkn retards

  48. BUT WHO WAS X?

    what would be funny is if the mirror said BUT WHO WAS HAND LICKER? also, 3 possible ending
    1. couldnt he just grab her ankle when she got off the bed
    2. it was her dad and he got a her a new dog and the old one was a robot
    3. shes dumb and looked under the bed and says “I didn’t know that”

    2nd doesnt make sense but neither does the guy not killing her
