When Stephen King isn’t busy writing some of the scariest horror novels of our time, he can frequently be found on Twitter giving the world updates on his sweet, yet apparently bloodthirsty, corgi named Molly, aka the ‘Thing of Evil.’

The four-year-old corgi is known for her wanton toy destruction, bed de-fluff-ings, and general bad attitude, up to and including being banned from multiple Petco locations.
Oops
No grooming today for the Thing of Evil. She has been banned from her second Petco.

Despite Molly’s questionable character and demeanor, she’s still a local celebrity (thanks to her famous Dad).
