They were in the castle under the guise of being rat catchers, which while Cheese was, Blood was not. The dog was a working dog who was seen earlier in the episode working with Cheese to catch rats.

Do Poltergeist next. Lots of real tragedy and trumped up bullshit around that one.
Dogs were used to help catch the rats. It was part of their cover.
The rat catchers dog, was also in an earlier scene in the episode.
Yes. It was Viserys’ Valyria LEGO set.
It was a way to remind us of Aegon I’s prophecy.
Well, Cheese IS a rat catcher...he’s just pretending that’s why he’s there at that moment.
The dog tracks the rats (keener senses and all). They had to look like they were doing their Rat-Catching duties. That’s why they were carrying and laying out the rat traps!
I root for the small folk.
I know they want to open up the world a bit (a common criticism from last season), but there was something awkward about starting at The Wall (with voice over that sounded an awful lot like Jon Snow). Not sure if it was the dialogue, or the performances, or how ‘clean’ the characters looked, or that it seemed forced…
Can I just say the intro is waaaaay better now? I get the whole bloodlines angle last season but it was fairly bland. This? They went with a semi Baylax Tapestry kinda look and I’m a real sucker for that.
My gf calls him “Not-Shia Lebeuff"
Rat catchers use dogs to, you know, catch rats.
They’re pretending to be rat catchers, and the dog is part of that.
Setting aside Criston’s…considerable list of flaws, he’s hot and is devoted to Alicent. Not the unhealthiest relationship on this show, and not a bad pick on Alicent’s part.
We root for Helaena and Cregan.
“(assuming they can get some soy wings together).”
Yeah pretty much. He’s used offensive language in the past because he’s that kind of comedian(and def a bro dude). Nothing I’ve seen has been in a hateful manner though. Does not appear to be some raging MAGA redneck if you actually listen to his comedy. Just said some dumb shit on a few podcasts cuz he’s a bro dude.
Olivia Wilde chokes back a sob, redoubles efforts to complete script for Don't Worry Darling 2: Don't Stop Not Worrying.
Dunno why everyone’s so keen to see Grande do it. She’s just gonna grab all Sean’s wings, lick them, and then put them back his plate.
