Are You Afraid of the Dog?
We were 12. We had watched the movie “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” just before going to bed. The movie has little demons that lived in the fireplace. We slept in sleeping bags IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE!!
Middle of the night I felt something inside my sleeping bag. It was moving around at my feet. I woke up, freaked out and started punching that little demon that got in my sleeping bag! Got that little effer to come out…. And it was my friends hot dog dog, Fred.
I felt awful when I realized it was him and grabbed him and loved on him. It’s been 40 years since that happened and I still apologize to Fred every time I tell the story. So sorry Freddo!! Story credit: Reddit / Strict-Fan-6799
