Meanwhile, Maggie’s younger brother named, Casey, is shown to be homeless and lives in
his van. Unfortunately, a woman officer, who knows

Emily so loves the red dog and she asks Mr. Bridwell how big the dog will get, and he
says it depends on how much she loves him. Although she instantly falls in love with
the dog, Casey says that they can’t take him home, leaving her sad.
Emily later goes to school, where she is made fun of by Florence for collecting cans for
charity when all the other kids just have their parents write checks.
Meanwhile, Emily finds one friend named, Owen, who has a slight crush on her but is awkward
around her. Later in class, Emily is embarrassed when
her bag of cans breaks open and spills the cans in front of everyone.
Later that night, when Emily gets home, she is surprised to find the red puppy somehow
having stowed away in her backpack. Emily thinks maybe Mr. Bridwell puts the dog
in her backpack when she leaves the tent. She then names the dog Clifford after he appears
to like the name. But when she wants to feed him some food,
Clifford goes out of her room causes Casey so surprised.
She shows him to Casey but he tells her that they have to return the puppy to Mr. Bridwell
because the pets aren’t allowed in the building. Emily requests Casey to the dog stay for one
night, and in the morning they will take the dog back to the tent.
Later, Emily goes to her room and cries because her embarrassment in the class has been posted
on the internet. She hugs Clifford and wishes they could be
big and strong so nobody will ever hurt them. One of her tears rolls onto Clifford’s nose,
while Mr. Bridwell observes her room from outside.
In the morning, Emily is stunned to see that Clifford has become gigantic.
She thinks that everything she sees is just a dream, but afterward, she agrees that is
real. Base on the huge body, Clifford has made Emily's
room so messing before she goes to tell Casey. Before Emily can try to explain things to
Casey, he sees the enormous Clifford and starts to freak out.
Immediately, Maggie calls Casey and wants to know about his taking care of Emily.
Casey tries to lie to her that everything is perfect, while everything in there so messing.

have information about Mr. Bridwell, even he researches on Google.
Meanwhile, the building's strict superintendent named, Mr. Packard, come by the fix the dishwasher
in their apartment. So, they must be hidden, Clifford because
the pets aren’t allowed in the building. They try to find a way to deal with him, while
Emily and Casey run around like crazy trying to hide Clifford from Mr. Packard.
After Mr. Packard leaves, Casey tells Emily they will take Clifford to a vet and then
try to find Mr. Bridwell to either take Clifford back or make him small again.
Emily and Casey take Clifford outside the apartment and they try to hide Clifford in
Casey’s van. Immediately, Owen shows up to give Emily her
schoolwork because today she didn’t show up in the class.
Clifford is quickly noticed by Owen and other onlookers, while Owen was so very surprised
with a huge dog.
Meanwhile, Clifford runs into the park when he sees people running around in giant plastic
bubbles, thinking he can fetch them. In addition, Clifford chases the man until
he pops the bubble.
Elsewhere, At a biotech company called, Lyfegro, CEO Tieran, is trying to develop some kind
of formula to make animals like chicken or sheep grow bigger to feed the world.
Unfortunately, his plans are failing after numerous failed experiments with other animals,
he has become fed up. His plan wants to make animals be bigger,
to provide humanity with more meat, but what he gets, just gives the animal having two
heads or more angry than normal. Meanwhile, Tieran’s employee shows him a
video of Clifford that has been making the rounds on social media, and Tieran thinks
he has found the solution to his problem, and he orders his team to find Clifford.
At the same time, Emily, Casey, and Owen take Clifford to the vet, but the people there
were stunned to see an animal as big as Clifford. Clifford then breaks the scale by sitting
on it, and the vet ultimately determines that Clifford is a very healthy dog, because he
doesn't have how to make the dog small. After that, Emily and Owen talk to an employee
at the clinic, who asks the kid why the dog is huge.
Emily tells her about Mr. Bridwell, and the clinic employee claims she uses to hear his
name before, and the people who have strange pets always get their pets from him.
The clinic employee said that Mr. Bridwell has always given a pet to the people, who
need them. During talking, Emily remembers that the animals'
rescue tent was set up in her school's compound, so Mr. Bridwell will fill out his info in
the paperwork. It means, they can find Mr. Bridwell's address
by this and they hurry to go to school.
Meanwhile, Tieran discovers that Emily is seen frequently with Clifford and he knows
where her school is as he orders his employees to find her so that they can find the dog.
Tieran then tracks down Emily's address and gets to Mr. Packard first.
He gives Mr. Packard 100 dollars to tell him about the information about Emily and the
dog.

foods until Clifford makes his appearance and wows all the other kids.

by saying she is just mad when Clifford is taking attention away from her.
Immediately, Clifford humiliates Florence further by licking her and covering her in
drool before Florence runs away as all the other kids laugh.

because Mr. Packard found out they had a dog in there.

set up the TV antenna. He loses his grip and falls, but Clifford
manages to catch him with his teeth and rescue him, to the amazement of Mrs. Jarvis and other
onlookers. The people start to appreciate Clifford, but
Casey no feeling about this, because he thinks it is a fault after he allows Emily to take
Clifford. He thinks that, If he doesn't allow Emily
to feed Clifford, so they will didn't evict the apartment.
Moments later, Tieran and his employees arrive there and try to take Clifford, and he claims
Clifford was sneaking out of his lab when he experiment on him, causing him big.

Meanwhile, Owen’s dad comes home, he is stunned to see Clifford, but he believes Owen
