What if one of your drawings became real?

Nomi loves drawing dogs, but finds them difficult to draw. It's much easier to draw fish because she has a fish. But she's not allowed a dog in her flat. Stephen tells her to get real – why should she have a dog? At bedtime Nomi tells her drawing of Mallory the dog to get real. Why should he be special? And in the dead of night Mallory DOES. He's real! Nomi has her own dog friend! And then the adventures really begin...
