Well to be fair, the dwarves have seen a dragon before. (That and it was basically a single line out of the novel where it is hard to see if what they are seeing is real, or just figurative. They made no serious mention of it afterwards regardless, save maybe in tales. And even then....the trolls and goblins lasted longer and the dwarves and hobbit could act with them. Giants? They heed not, nor are effected by the lesser creatures of the world. Even Gandalf makes very little of comments on Giants in all versions of the wizard)
Plus...dwarves. Food first, death and worry later.
