So when Blair begins sleepwalking and having dreams of an enormous dog that comes to the house every night, David assumes Blair just wants a dog too. But what if Blairās Nightmare, as the kids quickly name the dog, isnāt only a dream? Is Nightmare the dog theyāve always wanted? And how can the kids keep himāwithout letting their parents know?
