A dog howls outside. A very large dog, possibly a wolf.

The creature tugs lightly at the sides of the bed. It lightly gets on the bed as it creeps under the cover. 

The boy jumps out of bed and runs as the creature pursues. It’s tail follows him, the only part he sees. He’s almost to the living room. His leg gets attacked tripping him as he hurtles to the floor flipping a switch as the creature lunges for his face. 

It bites his hair, then his cheek. Then it licks him all over the place. -Weird, most creatures devour their prey by now.- He opens his eyes to see his adorable little puppy’s energetic eyes looking at him and licking him again.
