Woof.

Emily elizabeth:
"mac'’s secret dog club."

The shuffle-dog champion
of birdwell island...

Prepares her sh*t!

Unh!

Clifford:
points!

T-bone:
way to go, cleo!

It'’s a gift.

Okay, watch the shuffle-dog
champ of the world
make his sh*t.

Cleo: whoa!

All: ... ... ...

... ... ... ...

... ... !

Wow! Points
for that one, clifford.

One for each skip.

Your turn, t-bone.

Okay.

The shuffle-dog champion
of the, um...uh,
universe steps up.

Oof.

[Sniffing]

Oh...

What'’s going
on, cleo?

T-bone'’s taking
forever to sh**t.

Huh?
Whoa!

Oof!

Are you okay, mac?

Yeah, no thanks
to t-bone.

Sorry.

So what'’s
going on
with you, mac?

Oh, not much.

I was just on my way
over to my new...

[Whispering]
super secret dog club.

Secret club?

Mm-hmm. All the best dogs
on the island are in it.

Wow! Like who?

Me.

And?

And you,
if you want to join.

Of course
we want to join.

Mac: well, uh, not everyone
can get in, you know.

How do you
get in, mac?

First, you have
to follow me.

W-we can do that.

We'’ll see about that.

[Panting]

How much
further, mac?

Almost there.

[Grunting]

Whoa!

Oh, brother.

I gotcha, t.

Thanks, clifford.

Well, ahh...
Here it is...

My super secret dog club!

Wow, mac!
This is great!

What a neat place
for a club.

It'’s perfect!

Yeah, I know.

Too bad you can'’t
be in it, t-bone.

Huh?

Huh?
What?

Sorry. But all members
have to be able to get here...

I'’m here.

By themselves.

You have to be able
to get here with no help.

[Whimpers]

Sorry, t-bone.
It'’s a club rule.

That'’s not
fair, mac.

Yeah. That'’s
a dumb rule!

Clifford:
can'’t we change it?

Cleo: yeah!
Let'’s take a vote.

Oh, all right.

Those in favor of t-bone
becoming a member say, yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes!

Those not in favor say, no.

No!

Great!
"Yes," one "no."

Looks like
you'’re in, t-bone.

Yes!

Mac:
not exactly.

Huh?

You see, the president,

Me, gets votes.

So the vote is actually
"yes" and "no."

So I can'’t join?

Ooh, sorry, t-bone.
Rules are rules.

[Whimpers]

If t-bone can'’t
join the club,

Then I don'’t want
to be in it either.

Me neither.

What do you mean?

Don'’t you want to slide down
my super secret dog club
water slide?

No, thanks, mac.
Come on, guys.

Let'’s go play.

Great.

Okay.

Wait!

Wait! You can be
vice president, clifford.

No, thanks.

And cleo can be treasurer!

Okay, you guys,

But you don'’t know
what you'’re missing!

Do you give up yet?

Not yet, t-bone.

[Cleo cheers]

Go, t-bone!
Go, clifford!

Hi, cleo.

Oh. Hi, mac.
Want to play?

Oh, heh, looks
like fun, but, um,

I'’m on my way over
to the club with
these snacks for today.

Tummy yummies.
Liver and bacon.

Don'’t they
smell delicious?

Mm-hmm. They sure do.

I'’d love to
give you one,

But, um, they'’re for
club members only.

Oh. Yeah.

Well, they'’re going
to love them, mac.

[Sighs]
okay, t., My turn!

I can'’t believe cleo won'’t
join the club without t-bone.

[Barking]

Ow!

Oops!
Sorry, mac.

Want to play?

No, no. I have club
things to do today.

Right. Club things.

Okay, okay. Quiet down.

The first meeting of
the super secret dog club
will now come to order.

Any old business?

Okay. Well, um,
any new business?

[Sighs]

Okay, uh...

[Sighs]

Now what?

Oh! I know.

How about some snacks?

All in favor say, yes!

You know, I thought
having my own club

Was going to be a lot
more fun than this.

Oh, well, at least
I have good snacks.

Oh, no! I'’m trapped
by the evil fluffy face!

You'’ll never escape
my prison, really big,
really red dog!

And now my nasty plan
to take over planet poodle
is ready!

Ha ha ha hy--
[coughs]

Are you okay, cleo?

Yeah. Yeah,
I'’m all right.

Get back in the trap,
clifford.

Oh, no!
Who will save me?

Never fear!
Super t-bone is here!

Super t-bone!

[Gasps]
foiled again.

T-bone: don'’t worry,
really big, really red dog!

I'’ll save you!

Ta ta-ta-da!

Whoaa!

Oof!

[Laughs] oops.

Ooh, t-bone!

You got my ribbons
and medals all full of sand!

Sorry, mac.

What are they for,
mac?

Oh, the club.

We'’re going to play some
super secret games today.

Sounds like fun.

It will be.

You can win prizes
and stuff.

You guys want to come?

All of us?

Well, t-bone'’s
not a member.

Oh.

Come on, t.
Let'’s go play.

You have to save me,
super t-bone!

Clifford, wait.

Yeah?

I really want you and cleo
to join my club.

It'’s...

Well, it'’s just no fun
being in a club by yourself.

It'’s no fun being
left out of a club
by yourself either.

Maybe you'’re right.

Being left out of anything
doesn'’t ever feel good.

Yeah. It'’s just more fun
when we all play together.

Cleo: come on, clifford!
We need you!

Okay, I'’m coming!

See you later, mac.

Wait, clifford.

Yeah?

It is more fun

When everyone
plays together.

So, I'’m going to
change my vote.

I vote that t-bone
joins my club.

Wow! That'’s great, mac!

Come on, clifford,
let'’s play.

Guys, mac wants
to say something.

T-bone, I'’d like you to join
my super secret dog club.

Wow!
Thanks, mac!

In fact,
everyone is welcome.

[Barking]

Come on, cleo, jump!

The birdwell island
water slide champ
is now ready!

Whoo-whee!
[Laughs]

Hoo hoo hoo!

That was great,
cleo!

Who'’s next?

My turn.

The water slide champion
of the entire--whoaaa!

Yeow! Look out!

Oof!
Oof!

T-bone!

Sorry, mac.
I--i was--

[Laughs]

Hey, t-bone.
This is fun!

[Laughter]

Emily: clifford!

It'’s story time!

You want to hear
a speckle story, don'’t you?

Woof woof.

[Laughs]
I thought so.
He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is "speckle and
the really good book."

"One day, speckle was
walking home with a new book.

"It was one he'’d wanted
to read for a long time,

"So he was delighted
to have it at last.

"Darnell saw speckle'’s book,
and said he wanted
to read it as well.

"Speckle said he'’d gladly
loan it to darnell
when he was done.

"Then luna saw the book.

"It was on her list of books
she wanted to read.

"Speckle happily agreed
to lend it to luna
when darnell was done.

"When ravi and reba
saw the book,

"They wanted to read it, too.

"And they wondered
how long it'’d be

"Until they'’d get their turn.

"Then speckle
smiled, and said

"He knew how they could
all enjoy the book
with no waiting at all.

"He'’d read it out loud
to them right now!

"Luna, darnell,
ravi, and reba

"Agreed that that
was a wonderful idea.

"And so, with
listening ears on,

"They gathered around
to discover the new book
together.

"The end."

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

Woof.

[Laughs]

Emily elizabeth:
"the dog park."

Okay,
let'’s play tag!

[Laughs]
you can'’t catch me!

You cannot catch me.
[Laughs]

[Whistling]

[Laughs]

Ah, now this is a perfect day
for bird-watching, violet.

That'’s nice, dear.

Flowers are blooming,
sun is shining,

And best of all...

There'’s not a dog in sight.

Hey!

Oh, no...

Clifford.

Woof woof.

What?

There ought to be a law
about dogs in the park!

Okay, okay, just go
play or something.

[Laughs]

Why don'’t you
just run along

And play with your
doggy friends now,
clifford?

Woof.

Hmph. Crazy dog.

Just watch
the birdies, dear.

[Grunting]
[grunting]

Go, cleo!

Go, t-bone!

Go, cleo!

Ehh, whose side
are you on anyway?

On the winner'’s side,
of course.

[Barking]

Here comes clifford!

Whoaaa!

Uhh!

Hiya, clifford.

Oh, hello.

Hey, clifford.

Hi, guys.

Hey, now that
clifford'’s here,
let'’s play red rover.

Yeah! That'’s
a great game.

I'’ll go first.

Ready?

Ready!

Red rover, red rover,
send clifford right over.

Whoa!

M--maybe this wasn'’t such
a good idea after all.

Get out of the way!

Hey, where'’d you go?

Whoa, uh-oh.

[Gasp]

What'’s all
the noise?

[Whimpers]

[Sputtering]

You--you...

Big red dog!

Oh, my goodness!

What happened?

Get this
galloping gargantuan
out of my face!

Clifford, sit.

[Whimpers]

I'’m sorry,
mr. Bleakman.

Clifford didn'’t
mean any harm.

Well, he'’s not the only dog
wreaking havoc.

It'’s the whole...
Bunch of them.

Emily, dear,
maybe clifford
and his friends

Should play
in another part
of the park today.

Ok, mrs. Bleakman.

Come on, clifford.

Let'’s go over
by the playground.

Woof.

[Barking]

Dogs shouldn'’t be
allowed in this park.

Especially big red ones.

You dogs play
over here,

Away from
mr. Bleakman,
okay?

Woof woof.

Hey, emily, I can swing
higher than you can.

Oh, yeah?
We'’ll see about that.

So, what do you guys
want to do?

How about a good game
of fetch?

I'’m fabulous at that game.

That sounds fun.

Okay, let'’s go find
a nice, big fetch stick.

[Barking]

Cleo:
yeah, sounds good.

A bird is a beautiful thing,
violet, unlike a dog.

[Snoring]

I don'’t believe it.

What luck!

It'’s a birdwell island
budgie!

I'’ve actually found a rare
birdwell island budgie!

This is remarkable!

I'’ve got to get
a closer look.

See any good fetch
sticks yet, clifford?

Yeah. Here'’s a loose one.

Uh-oh.

There'’s a bird
on this branch.

A birdwell island budgie.

What luck!

Uhh! Oh, no, it'’s moved!
The budgie moved!

I'’ve got to hurry and find it
before it flies away!

Aw, isn'’t he cute?

Oh, yes.
Adorable.

We don'’t want
to wake him up.

So what are we
supposed to do?

Stand here until
his nap time is over?

Uh-huh. What we need
is a safe place to
put the branch down.

Ah! And I know
just the place.

How much father, cleo?

We'’re almost there.

There it is...

The perfect place
to put our bird.

Okay, then. You guys stay here,
and I'’ll take her out there.

I must be getting close.

Soon I'’ll see
with my own two eyes

The rare wonder of
the birdwell island budg--

What is going on?

Clifford!

[Chirping]

No! Don'’t go!
Please! Please!

You! You scared
my bird away!

Unh, you and all
your dog friends

Are ruining this park
for all bird-loving humans.

And I won'’t stand
for it anymore!

[Croak]

[Sputtering]

You sure you want
to do this, horace?

Let'’s go home,
have a nice glass
of lemonade,

And think this
over, dear.

No. The city laws
say birdwell island park
was built for people,

Not dogs.

And that'’s the way
I want it.

Tomorrow I plan to spend
a perfect day at the park

With no dogs allowed!

[Groan]

Ahh, another perfect day.

No, no, no.
Better than perfect.

Dogless.

Whatever you
say, dear.

Violet,
where is everybody?

The kids, and the birds,
and--and the squirrels?

Well, dear, the kids always
came here with their dogs.

No dogs, no kids.

No kids, no laughter.

And mrs. Diller
always brought cleo

When she comes to feed
the squirrels.

No dogs,
no mrs. Diller.

No mrs. Diller,
no playful squirrels.

And the lady
who feeds the birds

Always came to hear
the kids laugh and watch
the squirrels play.

No dogs,
no laughing kids
or playful squirrels.

No kids and squirrels,
no lady to feed
the chirping birds.

It certainly does
make the place quiet,
doesn'’t it?

Yes,
it certainly does.

Ahh, I wish we could
go to the park.

Me, too.

That mr. Bleakman has
ruined it for everyone.

Mr. Bleakman: hey, what are
you kids doing here?

We'’re sorry, mr. Bleakman.

Are we making too much
noise or something?

No. But kids and dogs
should be at the park

On a beautiful day
like today.

Don'’t you think so?

You mean we can go back to
the park now, mr. Bleakman?

With our dogs?

That'’s what parks are for!

Now get going.

Emily: come on,
clifford, let'’s go!

We'’ll play catch!

[Laughter]

[Dogs barking]

Yep. That'’s what
parks are for.

[Birds twitter]

[Squirrels chitter]

[Kids laughing]

[Whistling]

Ahh...everything'’s
just perfect today.

Uh-huh. And don'’t worry
about the dogs, dear.

I saw clifford
and his friends playing
down by the pond.

Good. Maybe I'’ll actually
get to watch some birds today.

Oh, no.

Rain?

No. It'’s just
clifford.

Is that
a problem, dear?

Ahh, no. No problem.

No problem at all.

[Kids laugh, dogs bark]

Clifford and I know
that it'’s important to
always tell the truth.

That'’s why clifford'’s big idea
for today is be truthful!

I love my new birdbath!

Cleo!
Where are you?

Whoaa!

Oof!

Oh, no!
I broke it.

Ahh! What happened?

Uh, I don'’t know.

Clifford did it!

Clifford!
You broke my birdbath!

Huh? No, I didn'’t.

Yes, you did!

T-bone said so!

He didn'’t
break it, cleo.

I did.

And it was an accident.
I'’m really sorry.

How can I trust you
if you lie to me, t-bone?

You made me yell at clifford,
and he didn'’t even do anything.

I'’m sorry. From now on,
I'’m going to tell the truth...

Right from the start.

Sometimes it'’s really hard,

But telling the truth is
always the right thing to do.

That'’s why clifford'’s big idea
for today is be truthful!
