[Laughter]

Woof!

What?

What'’s
happening now?

Here ya go, t.

Oh, no!
The school supplies--

They'’re headed
toward danger falls!

[Ruff ruff ruff]

Whoo-hoo! Hooray!

Yay! Whoo-hoo!

[Ruff ruff ruff]

I can'’t look!

[All cheering]

Ohh. Thanks to you,
rexington,

The school is saved.

[Ruff ruff]

Tv narrator: and so ends

Another exciting adventure

Of rexington,
dog of the yukon.

[Ruff ruff]

That rexington--
what a dog.

Did you see how
he ran across the ice?

And how about
the way he jumped
onto that tree?

Tv: attention
rexington fans.

Rexington'’s
favorite dog food

Is now available
to dogs everywhere.

It'’s mighty snackies,

The dog food
eaten by rexington himself.

Yes, mighty snackies!

Each snackie is packed

With the mighty power
rexington needs

To run faster

And jump higher.

And now your dog can have
that same mighty power

With mighty snackies!

Wow. The same mighty
power as rexington.

That would be great.

Tv: they'’re
mighty tasty, too.

That'’s why we say...

♪ Mighty snackies,
mighty snackies ♪

♪ Mighty, mighty,
mighty snackies ♪

[Fireworks explode]

That dog food
must be supercharged.

Ah, come on, big guy,

It'’s just dog food.

But it'’s rexington'’s
dog food.

So?

So? So?

We'’re not just
talking about any dog.

We'’re talking
about rexington.

I wonder
if mighty snackies

Would help me jump
as high as rexington.

[Grunts]

Ooh.

I bet they would.

After all,
each snackie is packed

With all the mighty power
rexington needs.

Yeah!

Yeah! I sure would
love to try some mighty
snackies, guys.

Guys? Guys!

Hey, hey! Look at that!

Cleo: they sure
look like they'’re
having fun, don'’t they?

They sure do.

Have you ever had
that much fun

Just eating
your regular dog food?

I haven'’t had that much
fun in my entire life.

I'’d love it if our dinners
were as fun as that.

Mmm.

All: ♪ mighty snackies,
mighty snackies ♪

♪ Mighty, mighty,
mighty snackies ♪

[All laughing]

Tv: did you ever wonder

Why rexington
loves his mighty snackies?

Well, they'’re not just
packed with mighty power,

They'’re mighty tasty, too.

In fact, every snackie

Is bursting
with a fireworks of flavor!

So dogs don'’t just like
the taste, they love it!

♪ Mighty snackies,
mighty snackies ♪

♪ Mighty, mighty,
mighty snackies ♪

And now back
to the polka dance party.

A fireworks
of flavor.

Packed with
mighty power.

And they'’re
mighty tasty, too.

We just have to get
some mighty snackies.

We just have to.

See anything, cleo?

She'’s coming.

Take your positions.

Right!

Uh, what'’s
my position again?

Bark and point.

Right.

Ready, big guy?

Ready.

Both: [ruff ruff ruff]

Hi, cleo. Hi, t-bone.

What'’s going on?

Mmm. Mmm.

[Laughs]

That'’s funny, clifford.

Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

Ahh. Mmm.
Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

Hey, that'’s rexington,
dog of the yukon.

Would you
like to try

Some of rexington'’s
new dog food,
clifford?

[All barking]

Ok, boy. I'’ll
ask mom and dad.

They know how much
you like rexington.

I'’m sure
they'’ll say yes.

[Giggling]

Here ya go,
clifford.

♪ Mighty snackies,

♪ Mighty, mighty,

Tv announcer:

T-bone: look at me!

I'’m mighty t-bone!

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

Your mighty snackies
are here.

[Ruff ruff ruff ruff]

[Ruff ruff ruff]

[Panting]

Ok, guys.

The mighty snackies
are all yours.

Dig in.

[Ruff ruff]

[Grunts]

Wow! Looks like
you guys

Really, really
like your new food.

I'’ll see you later.

Oh, yeah. Whee!

Ha ha ha!

[Gulps]
hey, guys, look at me!

I'’ve got
the mighty power
of mighty snackies.

Whoo-hoo!

Unh.

Hey, what happened?

Maybe you need
to eat some more.

But that'’s not the way
it is in the commercial.

Rexington
only needs one bite.

Oh, yeah!
♪ Da da da da ♪

[Giggles]

Ha ha. Ha ha.

[Groans]

Yippee.

Hey, I don'’t
feel the way

They look like
they felt on tv.

You don'’t?

I feel exactly the same

As when I eat
regular dog food.

Yeah, but this dog food

Has got
a fireworks of flavor.

It'’s really...

[Gulps]

A lot like
regular dog food.

I don'’t understand.

What happened to all the fun
that'’s supposed to happen?

The commercial said
that eating
mighty snackies

Would help us
run fast and jump high,

Like rexington,

But I don'’t think
it'’s working on me.

Rexington is
a pretty amazing dog.

Maybe he could already
run fast and jump high

Without the dog food.

But still, they made it
seem like we would be

Just like him
just by eating his food.

I guess no dog food
in the world

Could ever make me
exactly like rexington.

Yeah, and I guess
that a dog food alone

Can'’t really make you
feel super happy.

So why would they

Do and say all those things
on the commercial?

I guess they just think
all that will make us

Want to buy
rexington'’s dog food.

Well, they were
right about that.

Emily elizabeth bought you
about tons of the stuff.

Next time we hear
an ad like that,

Maybe we should
really think about
what it'’s saying

Before we get
so carried away.

So, what are you
gonna do

With all those
mighty snackies, clifford?

I don'’t know.

Eat '’em, I guess.

They actually taste ok.

Ok.

Sounds good.

[Burps]

Excuse me.

Clifford,
was that a burp?

Uh, maybe.

Or maybe it was
just a fireworks
of flavor.

Really?

Nope, it was a burp.

[All laugh]

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time.

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

[Woof woof]

[Giggles]
I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Emily elizabeth:
today'’s story is

Speckle and the spaghetti
competition.

Speckle and his friends

Were having one
of their favorite meals,

Spaghetti and meatballs,

And each of them said

That they had the best way
in the world to eat it.

Speckle showed them how he
could eat an entire noodle

In just one long slurp.

Luna twirled
her spaghetti on her fork,

Creating a tasty
noodle twist.

Reba and darnell

Cut their spaghetti up
into little pieces

So that they could
easily eat it in big,
yummy spoonfuls.

And ravi'’s way

Was to toss his meatball
into the air

And catch it in his mouth.

As they enjoyed their lunch,

Speckle, ravi, reba,
darnell, and luna agreed--

Any way to eat spaghetti
is a good way,

Especially when you'’re
eating it with friends.

The end.

That was a great story.
Isn'’t reading fun?

[Woof]

[Giggles]

I don'’t see it, clifford.

Can we go any higher?

No problem. Hop on.

[Seagull caws]

Now do you see anything?

Nope. Nothing.

Ok.

Thanks, pal.

[Grunts]

I'’m sure it'’ll be here soon.

[Yawning]

What'’s going on, guys?

Oh, hi, cleo.

I'’m waiting
for my friend burger.

He'’s coming in
on a ferry today.

But the ferry won'’t be here
until after lunchtime.

I know. I guess I'’m
just a little excited.

He was my very
first friend

When I was just
a little puppy.

I can'’t wait
to meet him.

What'’s he like, t-bone?

Well, he'’s
a lot like me.

When we were
little puppies,

We used to do
everything together.

Whatever I did,
hamburger did,

And whatever
hamburger did, I did.

[Barking]

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo! Oh.

Ohh!

Good one,
t-bone.

Thanks, hamburger!

[Laughing]

T-bone, hamburger,
lunchtime!

Lunchtime!

Lunchtime!

Both: lunchtime!

[Barking]

[Gulp]

[Struggles,
gulps]

Ready for a nap, t-bone?

There you go, hamburger.

Wilson, I can hardly believe

That you and hamburger
are going away.

Wilson: yep.

We'’re really
gonna miss you two.

Wow. So that'’s
when you found out

That hamburger
was moving away?

No. We just thought
maybe hamburger
and deputy wilson

Were going away on
a vacation or something.

When did you figure out
they were going away for good?

The next day,

We were having
a great time

Playing tag in
the sheriff'’s station.

[Barking]

You can'’t tag me
if you can'’t catch me!

Then I'’m gonna
have to catch ya.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoa!

[Crash]

[Giggles]

Hey, hamburger,
where'’d ya go?

Got ya!
Huh?

[Laughs]

Aw, hamburger.
Go on.

[Crash]hamburger: unh.

What'’s the matter?
Are you stuck?

No, I can get out.

Uh-oh. Now I'’m stuck.

Whoa!

Unh.

There. Now you'’re
not stuck anymore.

I'’m not stuck
in the bars anymore,

But I am stuck in here,

At least until sheriff lewis
comes and opens the door.

Well, then I'’ll
be stuck with you.

Thanks, pal.

T-bone:
you'’re welcome, pal.

[Sheriff lewis
whistling a tune]

Lewis: t-bone,
hamburger!

Wilson:
you boys in here?

[Ruff ruff]
[ruff ruff]

[Laughs]

You two got yourselves
stuck again, huh?

[Ruff ruff]
[ruff ruff]

It'’s gonna be
awfully quiet around here

When you and hamburger
move away next week, deputy.

[Laughs]

It sure is.

Our two dogs are going
to have a hard time

Getting used to being
without each other.

Well, I guess
I better get busy
and start packing.

We hope you'’ll come back

And visit with us
now and again.

That we'’ll do.
I promise.

That'’s when we
finally figured out
what was going on.

Hamburger was
leaving for good.

Gosh, that
must have been awful.

I can'’t even imagine
one of you guys leaving.

I really wanted us
to stay together,

So I made a plan.

I decided the thing to do

Was to pack up
and go with hamburger.

Huh?

Whoa!

Got ya!

Aw, hamburger.
Go on.

So what'’s
going on here, t?

I'’m packing.

I'’ve decided
to go with you.

Whoo-hoo!
Let me help you pack.

Well, that'’s it.

Let'’s take it
over to my house

And put it
with the rest of the stuff

That we'’re moving.

[Both grunting]

I think it'’s a little
too heavy, t-bone.

Uh-huh.

I know.

Let'’s get sheriff lewis
to carry it for us.

Then we can help him
carry his stuff.

Ok, that sounds great.

Wait a minute.

The sheriff doesn'’t
have any stuff to carry.

Why not?

He'’s not moving.

Only deputy wilson
is moving.

But I don'’t want to move

If sheriff lewis
isn'’t moving.

Hey, how about instead
of me moving with you,

You stay here with me?

Great idea!
I'’ll just stay here.

Hooray! You'’re
gonna stay with me!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Wait a minute.

I can'’t stay here.

I want to go where
deputy wilson is going.

Since neither one of us

Wanted to leave
our humans,

We realized that
our plans wouldn'’t work.

Wow. What a great story.

So then what did you do?

Hamburger and I
came up with another plan.

We figured that if he
didn'’t have his suitcase,

He wouldn'’t be
able to leave.

[Grunts]

Let me try.

Unh.

There.

Whoo-hoo!
We did it!

Ok, t-bone. Let'’s
get it out the door.

We did it, t-bone!

Whoo-hoo!
Good for us!

[Deputy wilson whistling]

Someone'’s coming.

Let'’s hide.

Wilson:
well, look at this.

Someone brought
my suitcase out for me.

Aw, thanks, boys.

[Both sigh]

Well, deputy,
good luck to you.

Thanks, sheriff.
Keep in touch.

Where'’s hamburger?

I just have to say good-bye
one last time.

Huh?

Whoa-ho-ho!

Gotcha.

Aw, hamburger.

Go on.

Come on, hamburger.
Time to go.

[Whimpers]

I know you'’re gonna
miss hamburger,

And he'’s gonna
miss you, too.

But don'’t worry.
We'’ll come back
and visit.

I promise.

[Happy barking]

Come on, hamburger.

Let'’s go, buddy.

[Ruff ruff]

[Ruff ruff]
bye-bye!

[Ferry horn blows]

Good-bye, t-bone.

I'’m sure gonna miss you.

But I'’ll bet we'’ll both make
some new friends real soon.

Whoa!

[Horn blowing]

Whoo-hoo!

That'’s one big dog.

When hamburger
left that day,

I thought I'’d never find
another friend like him.

But then,
clifford came to town.

Ahem.

What am i,
chopped kibble?

A-and then,
cleo came to town.

And now hamburger
is coming to visit.

Gosh, now I have
a whole bunch
of great friends.

[Horn blows]hey, the ferry is here.

Hey, you'’re right!

There it is!
There it is!

I don'’t see hamburger.

Where is he?

Maybe he didn'’t come
after all.

Whoa!

Heh heh. Gotcha!

Ha ha ha!

Hamburger, go on.

Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo.

[Barking]

You see that, cleo?

Those two are going to be
friends forever.

You said it, pal.

Friends forever.

Are you ready to roll,
t-bone?

Ready!

Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho!

Whoa-oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!

Ha ha ha!

That was fun!

But I'’m so dizzy.

Oh, look at
poor t-bone.

He'’s so clumsy
sometimes.

That'’s not a very nice
thing to say, mac.

Emily elizabeth:
being a good friend

Means thinking about
your friend'’s feelings.

Even when he'’s not around.

Oh, what a klutz.

Please stop making fun
of t-bone, mac.

Oh, but he can'’t hear me.

You wouldn'’t want t-bone
to make fun of you

When you'’re not around,
would you?

No, i--i guess not.

Did you guys
see me rolling?

Yep. You looked like
you were really
having fun, t-bone.

I was!

Emily elizabeth:
it just feels right

When you treat your friends
the way you would like
to be treated.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is be a good friend.
