It was about midnight when Bilbo heard a groan beside his bed. His dog woke up again. Bilbo patted her on the head, trying to comfort his dog. The dog licked his hand gently before going back to her tiny bed. It's like a ritual. She barked excessively during the night to wake him up. He didn't know why she barked so much since he came back to Shire. There's nothing that should spark that kind of terrified look the dog gave him every night in his house. He had fallen asleep for a while before the dog started licking his hand again.
" Go to bed Daisy!" Shouted out loud, Bilbo suddenly realized the dog had died months ago.
Looking under the bed, he saw a long tongue sticking out from that thing.
It was Gollum.
