Despite Bilbo needing the assistance of the dwarves and Gandalf to deal with the trolls, this transformation is what proves Gandalf ' 's claim that there is more to this little hobbit than meets the eye.

Through these differences in the hunt, the first death, and the training, Billy Coleman’s dogs Little Ann and Old Dan…
