Dialogue

Mr. Bridwell: [meets puppy Clifford for the first time at the park] There you are. Come on. Now, just cause you're lost, it doesn't mean you're any less of a treasure, you understand? [Clifford barks at him] Oh, standing up for yourself, are you? Yes, yes, I know. You're a dog. [he picks him up and kisses him] Hello. Now, let's introduce you to all the others, shall we? Hope they don't mistake you for a lobster.
