Ready or not, here I come!

Found ya.

Aw, nuts.

Come on, t-bone.

You can help me
find clifford.

Clifford?

Clifford?

Clifford?

Clifford!

Clifford.

Clifford?

Whoa.

How does such a big red dog
hide so well, cleo?

Emily:
clifford!

He won'’t be hidden
for long.

Clifford!

Clifford!

Emily elizabeth.

Whoa.

Ow. Unh. Unh.

Emily: here comes clifford.

Oh, no!

Oh, my precious petunias.

Ahh...

Hey, clifford,
wanna do me a favor?

Woof woof!

This is for my cousin
laura'’s birthday tomorrow.

Would you take it to mr. Carson
at the post office for me?

Good work, clifford.

Emily'’s sure lucky
to have a dog like you.

Woof!

Thanks, clifford.

I knew I could
count on you.

[Gasps] oh, no.

Aah!

Oh, that dog!

Grr! Ruff ruff ruff.
Grr! Ruff.

That'’s pretty scary, cleo.

Think so?

Yeah. You'’re really gonna
scare mr. Carson today.

Here he comes now.
Watch this.

Grr. Ruff ruff
ruff ruff. Grr.

[Giggles]

[Whimpers]

Hiya, cleo.
Morning, t-bone.

Ahh, poor fella.

I hope I didn'’t
scare him too much.

[Gasps]

Hi, guys.

[Gasps]

Oops.

What'’s in here, clifford?

It'’s a present.

Ooh, a present.

Hey, where you going
with my package

For emily elizabeth'’s
cousin laura?

What kind of present?

Come on, cleo, I have to
give it to mr. Carson.

You'’re taking it to
the mailman by yourself?

Yep.

Gosh, my human'’d

Never let me
do anything like that.

I might lose it
or something.

What is this thing?

What'’s what? [Gasps]

Cleo, what did you do?

I opened it.

But I'’m supposed to bring it
to mr. Carson.

You can, as soon
as we figure out
what it is.

I think it'’s
a flying disk.

You shouldn'’t
play with it, cleo,

Till you know
what it is.

I know. It'’s a pizza.

[Chomping]

Ugh. Definitely not a pizza.

Come on, cleo,
just put it back.

Yeah, put it back.

Ohh.

Hey, wait. I think
I know what it is.

It'’s a magic ball.

A what?

Aah! Unh.

[Sniff sniff]

A magic ball.
I'’ve seen it on tv.

Really. It sure
doesn'’t look like it does
in this picture.

I know. It'’s supposed to
blow itself up or s--

Yaah!

Wow.

A magic ball!
Very cool.

Hey!

I love this thing.

[Muttering]

What?

I said now that we know
what it is, let'’s put it away.

Ok, red. If you say so.

I don'’t think
it fits.

Unh. Sure it does.
Help me, t-bone.

Here, let me try.

No, clifford.
Stop.

Uh-oh.

[Gasps]

This can'’t be good.

At least now
it'’ll fit in the box.

Never mind the box, cleo.

I gotta go show this
to emily elizabeth.

Want us to come
with you, clifford?

Yeah. It was kinda
all our faults
that it broke.

No, that'’s ok, guys.
I'’ll tell her myself.

Aw, come on, give it to me.
I can make a basket. Come on.

Heh heh. Yeah.

Ok, you take your sh*t,
then I'’ll take mine.

[Whimpers] ohh.

[Whimpers]

Ohh, what am I
gonna tell emily?

Well, hello there, clifford.

Aah!

Huh?

So, did you tell emily yet?

Not yet.

She'’s gonna be so unhappy.

Oh, I know.

Sorry I made you
open the box.

That'’s ok.

Oh, emily is gonna
be so unhappy.

I know.

Maybe you shouldn'’t
tell her.

Don'’t tell her? I have to.

Ok, but she'’s gonna
be so unhappy.

Cleo, stop saying that.

Well, she is.

I know, but what can I do?

Hmm, you could hide the ball
and act like you brought it
to mr. Carson.

But I didn'’t bring it.

Emily doesn'’t know that.

And telling her is just
gonna make her unhappy.

Do you really think so?

I know so.
Hide the ball.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

[Whimpers]

Have I ever
steered you wrong?

Hey, clifford.

Thanks for taking
the package.

I can just picture
the look on cousin laura'’s face
when she opens it.

[Whimpers]

Know what I think?

I think such a great dog
deserves a great treat.
Be right back.

My stomach hurts.

I told you
she'’d be happy.

But she thinks
I took the package.

Exactly.

Emily: here you go, boy.

Here'’s a big juicy
doggie doodle.

For the best dog
in the whole wide world.

[Whimpers]

It'’s sure great

Having a best friend
like you, clifford.

Go ahead and take it,
clifford. You deserve it.

[Howls]

Clifford, what'’s wrong?
Are you getting sick?

Let'’s see your eyes.

[Whimpers]

Clifford, what'’s goin'’ on?

[Gasps] is this cousin laura'’s
magic ball?

You broke it.

[Whimpers]

Then you hid it?

Oh, clifford, this is awful.

[Groans]

Uh-oh. I knew
we shouldn'’t have
hidden that ball.

I really wanted laura
to get this gift tomorrow.

You should'’ve
shown me this right away.

If I'’d known it was broken,
I could'’ve bought another one.

I know you'’re sorry.

[Whimpers]

Oh, I guess it'’s not that bad.

Woof woof!

But you and I
have to go get a new present
for cousin laura right now, ok?

Woof!

Then we'’ll both take it
to the post office together.

And, clifford, remember--
everyone makes mistakes.

Woof!

So next time, please
just be honest with me. Ok?

Come on, boy.
Let'’s go to town.

Woof woof.

[Barking and giggling]

I knew we should'’ve told her
right from the start.

Whoa! Unh.

Emily: clifford.

It'’s storytime. You wanna hear
a speckle story, don'’t ya?

Woof woof.

Heh. I thought so.
He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is "speckle
and the old wagon."

One day, when speckle and
his friends were playing,

Speckle saw something
behind a tree.

They gathered sponges
and buckets of soapy water

And went to work.

Now it was time
to paint the wagon.

Ravi wanted to paint it purple,
but luna wanted pea green.

Reba'’s favorite color was blue,
and darnell liked bright red.

[Bickering]

Speckle wanted everyone
to be happy.

So together, they painted it
all the colors of the rainbow.

Then off they went
down the grassy hill

In their wonderful
rainbow wagon.

[Giggling]

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

Woof.

Heh heh.

Ok, clifford,
bath time.

I know it'’s not
your favorite thing.

Nose, please.

But we all have to have a bath
sooner or later.

Heh heh. Clifford, I'’ll take
my bath later, thank you.

Maybe after school, we can
play some ball, clifford.

Or how about we build
a sand castle down at the beach?

Ready for a back scrub?

Woof.

Heh heh heh.

Here I go.

Aah!

Look out, jetta.

Unh. Oh.

Emily elizabeth,
look what you'’ve done.

I'’m sorry, jetta. I was just
giving clifford a bath.

Your dog is nothing
but trouble.

Machiavelli!

I don'’t know how I'’m going to
get machiavelli groomed again

Before lily arrives.

Who'’s lily?

Lily lavalley?

The person who decides
which dog

Will be prize poochmagazine'’s
dog of the year.

Oh. I already know who the dog
of the year is--it'’s clifford.

Clifford. Can you just
see cliff on the cover
of a magazine?

Yes, I can.

I think clifford and I will
enter that contest, too.

Oh, whatever.
Come on, mac.

We'’ve gotta get you cleaned up
so you'’ll look your best

When lily arrives.

Ok, clifford,
let'’s finish that bath.

[Humming]

Aah! Heh heh heh.

You'’ll be the most
well-groomed dog of the year

Miss lily lavalley
has ever seen.

You look so handsome.

You'’re sure
to win that contest.

[Whimpers]

Now you stay nice
and clean, clifford.

And I'’ll meet you at the dock
this afternoon.

[Yawns]

Clifford!

What? Oh, hi, cleo.

Let'’s go,
let'’s move, let'’s--

[Sniffs]

Wait. What is that?

Woof. What'’s what, cleo?
Wh-where?

Don'’t you
smell it, t-bone?

Something kinda sweet,
kinda fruity, kinda like...

Shampoo?

Oh, you had a bath,
clifford?

Come on, guys. Let'’s go down
to the beach and play.

Hmm.

Clifford, let'’s go.

To the beach.

Here we go.

What is wrong with you,
clifford? Let'’s go.

Sorry, cleo, but I have
to stay well-groomed.

Well-groomed?

You know, all clean and shiny
and sweet-smelling.

My human'’s always trying to
make me like that, too.

Can'’t you see I'’m perfect
the way I am?

Emily elizabeth
just wants me to look
extra special

For when I get
my picture taken.

Whoa. Back up, clifford.
You lost me.

You see, there'’s this contest
for dog of the year,

And all I have to do
to win it for emily

Is stay clean
until this afternoon.

But you can'’t just stay here
all day doing nothing.

It'’s a beach day.
A ball day.

A digging day, right, t?

Right.

Why, just this morning,

T-bone and I got
a whiff of a big bone

Buried in the sand
down by the pier, right, t?

Right.

A big one?

It sure smelled big.

How big?

Huge. Gigantic.

A humongous, super-enormous,
clifford-size bone.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let'’s go.

Find anything yet?

Nope.

I found a crab.
Ouch!

Come on, clifford. We'’ll never
find it without your help.

I better not.

Don'’t ya like digging
anymore, clifford?

Sure, but I have to stay--

Well-groomed. We know.

I'’ll just stay up here.
It'’s fun. Really.

Heh.

Uh, find it?

Not yet.

We know it'’s there, clifford.

We just can'’t get to it.

It'’s the biggest-smelling bone
I'’ve never seen.

Huge.

Yaii!

You go, big guy.
[Gasps]

Both: wow.

Found it.

All right.

Whoo-hoo!

Let'’s bury it again.

Wow. You'’re a mess.

T-bone: you don'’t smell
so fruity anymore, either.

Oh, no. And I'’ve gotta go
meet emily at the dock.

Cleo: clifford, wait. Wait.

Whoa. That'’s even bigger than
my sport utility vehicle.

Must be a new model.

There goes a brave dog.

Yeah. Let'’s wait for him
at the other end.

Here he comes.

Huh?
Huh?

Well, so much
for well-groomed.

I look great.

Emily elizabeth
will be so proud.

But, uh...clifford, you--

I better get to the dock.

Clifford, wait.

You'’re still half-dirty.

Is she here?

Lily lavalley!

Lily'’s gonna love my dog.

¡Hola, emily elizabeth!

Hello, victor.
Hello, pedro.

You'’re here to meet
miss lily lavalley, too, huh?

Yes, I am, pedro, but it
sure is foggy out there.

Thick as soup.

Thick as cotton.

Thick as a brick.

I hope the ferry
can get in ok.

So, emily elizabeth,
where'’s the big red mess?

Clifford will
be here soon, jetta.

I don'’t know about
any big red mess.

Woof woof.

Clifford, clifford, wait.

Heh heh heh heh heh.
You'’re right.

He'’s not a mess.
He'’s a disaster.

Clifford, what did you do?

Maybe he'’s not the most
well-groomed dog,

But he'’s the best.

[Horn blows]

Victor: there goes
the lighthouse beacon.

Oh, dear.

The light cannot
get through that fog.

It is as thick
as bricks.

Poor humans. They could
be stranded out there
forever.

I'’m sure glad
I'’m a dog.

If the fog doesn'’t lift,

The ferry will have to
stay out all night long.

I wish we could help.

Clifford,
where are you going?

Oh, looks like clifford'’s
running away.

Couldn'’t stand the thought
of losing, I guess.

Look at that.

Pedro: looks like clifford'’s
gonna help us out today.

Wow.

Of course he is.

Go, clifford.

Be careful, clifford.

Great greyhounds.

Can anyone hear me?
It'’s me--lily lavalley.

Oh, it'’s strange.
There'’s nothing out there
but fog, fog, and more fog.

It'’s very strange.

I'’ve never seen anything
so strange in my entire life.

I...stand...corrected.

Where are you, clifford?

[Horn blowing]

That'’s my clifford.

What a dog.

He'’s the best.

Wow, clifford. Lily lavalley
picked you as dog of the year.

Heh. But you'’re dog of the year
every day to me.

Wow, t-bone. Your
sand castle looks great.

It sure does, t.

Thanks. I did the whole thing
all by myself.

Clifford and I know that
it'’s always important

To be thoughtful
of other people'’s
feelings and ideas.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today
is respect.

You know what would make it
even better, though?

A great big flag.

No. I think it'’s great
just the way it is.

There. Now it needs
a big wall.

No, it doesn'’t.

Cleo, this is
t-bone'’s castle.

Before you change it,

You should find out
if he wants you to.

I'’m sorry. Next time,
I'’ll remember to ask first.

Sometimes our friends
have thoughts and feelings

That are different
from ours.

When we take the time

To find out about
those differences,

It shows how much we care.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today is respect.
