I'm not scared of Clifford. Never had been. You know who's more scary? Emily. Because she's constantly loving him and changing his size. The more she loves, the bigger he gets. And we can't prove this is specfically a Clifford only deal. Considering how her parents don't allow her to have pets before him, it sounds like she always could enlarge animals with her love. So, what I'm saying is that if we can keep Emily isolated and away from everything, we should be safe from all Kaijuesque monsters and Clifford should shrink without her love.
When I was 13 years old, my local church was holding a fundraising event and it involved a really big, pre-owned book sale. To "promote" the massive amount of children's books they were desperately trying to get rid of, someone rented a cheap, well-worn Clifford mascot costume. The fabric in the joints had rubbed away and the ears on the headpiece looked like they were rotting off. There were some troubling stains on the ass of the suit and it certainly smelled like someone had shit themselves before dying inside of it. One of the high school choir boys had, at the over-baring pressure of his mom, volunteered to wear the suit for the event. On the day of the fundraiser, he purposely made himself throw up by drinking 5 liters of Dr Pepper in 20 minutes, which convinced the adults he was too sick to play the role of Clifford. The priests went to each volunteer, BEGGING them to do it and were only met with very firm 'no's. Then on of them came to me, a tiny 8th grade girl who was just trying to meet the minimum 10 hours of volunteering needed for my catholic school to pass me for the year. Not only did the priest offer to sign my volunteer sheet and fully fill it out, thus completing my requirements when I had done maybe 2 hours of volunteering total, but he also handed me a $20 and said "Jesus suffered for you, so you can tough this out for some little kids". The worst pain I ever experienced in my life was when I was 21 and my appendix ruptured, which also caused some cysts on my ovaries to burst as well. I passed out several times from the pain on the way to the hospital, and when I came to after the emergency surgery, one of the nurses smiled at me and said "Well, honey, you just experienced a pain worse than natural child birth." When I tell you I would rather have my rotten appendix violently shoved back in my body and have it removed all over again, than ever wear that Clifford suit again, I mean it. The stench inside the mascot head made me feel like I was in that scene of Spirited Away when the gross mud spirit schlops his way through the bath house and the smell was so bad that it spoiled food. My eyes burned, the saliva in my mouth dried up, and the heat from my own breath made it stick to my pores. Inside that suit I realized that God was either dead or a cruel Creator, because no loving God would allow something as foul as that Clifford suit to exist. I ended up sitting for most of the hour-long commitment because I easily became dizzy while standing. I was told to act like a Disney mascot, waving happily and moving with excitement to welcome the little kids over to the books. All I did was sit in a small chair, staring straight ahead with my paw-gloved hands set on my knees, desperately grasping to hold onto whatever bits of reality I could. I wish I could say I blacked-out for most of it. I really wish I did. But no, I remember almost every minute I spent in that sticky red-colored fursuit. The worst part about it all, is that every child that came by was TERRIFIED of Clifford the Decaying Corpse. One mother really tried to entice her toddler to get a picture with me, but the kid screamed like he was being flayed alive when he was pushed towards me. I don't blame him. I don't blame any of the kids for being scared. It was a scary costume. I was scared while wearing it. I wondering if the kids sensed my fear. I had nightmares about being trapped in that suit, or the suit coming to life and hunting me down for at least a month afterwards. The only small positive to come from it was that the older high school volunteer kids had a weird kind of respect for me from then on. One of them said I reminded him of his Uncle who served in Vietnam. I understand why.
Mandatory volunteering to graduate school is ridiculous. Like you could have been an A+ average, genius student at my school, but if you didn’t get those hours, too bad, you’re not graduating. Most people just got a family friend to write them fake hours, since it’s bullshit
I'm a preschool teacher, we literally had a Clifford day just today. We read the book, we did a Clifford craft... It would have been a nightmare for you, Hugbees.
Clifford is a Lovecraftian horror who warps people's minds to make them unafraid of him. I remember the TV show there was one neighbor who didn't love Clifford like everyone else, somehow he was immune to it. Can you imagine living next door to that monstrosity and being the only person who thought for what it was
It's nice to finally see a man open up about his fears, it's been socially normalized as unacceptable for men to appear weak. So I thank you truly Huggbees for appearing so before us, and exposing this deeply sensitive subject for you.
Bro Clifford is terrifying who wouldn’t be terrified of something that when barks bursts your eardrums and your entire neighborhood’s aswell On accident.
@@accountlol7409 Obligatory Documentary: “Oh he’s so cute,” were his final words as his skin was ripped from his body in a single howl. Unfortunately he would live long enough to see the painful regret of his decision to go see the anomaly that day. He would die three days later after being flown to the hospital in critical condition. The fifth death caused by the crimson canine that day.
What's really terrifying is that he's technically _a puppy._ Assuming one can deal with the logistics of keeping a predator that size fed long enough to reach maturity, how big would he be as an adult?
Huh.. cool. And here I thought it was the blood of the innocent 😕 Glad to hear he's got a heart. ❤ A great big mammoth sized heart pumping more blood per beat than what's in my whole body at any given time. :)
I think there was an episode in the series which showed that the people around Clifford’s family were actually afraid of them at first. So, they just got used to him over time, lol.
I love how if you stare into the reflection of his glasses you can see his script, but more importantly: that he is just staring at an image of Clifford to constantly remind him of what he's fighting against
This reminded me of how the plot of Clifford's really big movie (The animated one, not the live action) literally revolves around Clifford becoming guilty of how much his family has to spend just to feed him to the point of even having to morgage their house that he runs away to a circus in order to win a life supply of food at a contest.
Y'know what else scares me? That we are rapidly approaching 20 days and Huggbees still hasn't so much as thought of the other Missouri road sign that we know of
I love the Clifford franchise but it wasn't until I got older that I realized how much trouble a big red dog such as himself could cause. If streets getting covered and flooded by his waste (and other fluids) wasn't enough, what about people minding their own business when suddenly, he comes barreling in after a ball and squishes them into small red puddles? He's a huge liability (pun entirely intended). The trailer at the end was well edited!
The only memory I have of watching Clifford was when I was in Kindergarten, we had these buddies who were older than us who we watched with. I didn’t have a buddy. It was actually really sad, because there was another kid who had two.
Up until my early~mid twenties I had a phobia of dogs. The idea of Clifford was terrifying to me. I was a bit old to watch it anyway, but my younger sister did. And because there's an eight year difference between us, I contemplated the existential horror that it brought me while she was blissfully unaware. I wish I had that ignorance.
Believe me, I have a fear of standard sized dogs. You do not need to explain to my why Clifford it terrifying, I'm just happy to see I'm not the only one who has this irrationally rational fear.
According to a friend who works in film, someone nearly died during the filming of the 2021 Clifford movie because of lack of communication/lack of following safety protocol while filming a driving stunt. If you're wondering, it's the scene where the mail truck skids out on the gravel driveway and crashes into the garage. I haven't seen the movie, nor do I want to. But multiple people almost died for this red menace.
Mr. Bees, I doubt you've ever seen "cáca milis", but you should check it out, it's an Irish short film us irish lads have to memorise for our exams. It's genuinely terrifying
Wait a moment! There’s something we haven’t considered in why the people don’t seem too bothered by Clifford’s existence. Let’s consider the other kaiju mentioned in this video and compare them to Clifford. Godzilla is almost always more than 100 feet tall, and has been depicted as large as 300 ft tall in certain canons. Ghidorah is usually bigger than Godzilla, and even King Kong and Mothra usually are the greater half of 50. Clifford is inconsistent in size but usually ranges from 10-25 feet in height. This is impressive, but puts him on a much smaller weight class than most heavy-hitting kaiju threats. On top of that, Clifford is universally non-hostile to humanity, whereas the likes of Godzilla range from neutral until provoked to outright genocidal. This leads me to a theory: Clifford isn’t feared and reviled by the local community for the same reason the national government hasn’t sic-ed a nuke on him; there’s other, more dangerous kaiju out there and the presence of something like Clifford is not unusual
Makes sense. The reason you don't want a big cat for a pet (that is, tigers, lions, etc) is not (just) because of them being ferocious animal at the top of the food chain, it's because even if they are tamed and docile, they can accidentally kill you with a paw swipe or a bite meant to be taken by animals as big or bigger than them that can handle it. Even the simple act of happily tackling their owner could break bones. Having a dog the size of a house, however... Also, disappointed in no use of the "that's a huge pile of shit" scene from 'Jurassic Park' :D
Also, from an animal caretaker perspective: dogs eat meat. The reason you can keep apex predators like lions in a zoo reasonably is that they do not eat all that often; they sleep a lot to conserve energy between feedings. You know what doesn't sleep as much as a cat between feedings and is basically bred to eat on the same frequent time table as us? Dogs. Now, think about how much grass it takes to feed an elephant. For a dog the size of an elephant, or bigger as Clifford looks bigger than several elephants put together in many panels, you'd need that much meat. Every day.
Thing is, I think he shouldn't be that difficult to defeat, at least compared to other kaijus. Clifford's size is dependant on the love he receives. If we just get a bunch of people, maybe 100 at most, to surround Clifford, and collectively hate him, he will likely shrink down to a manageable size.
but that brings up an interesting question, does it need to be someone that he's close to to make him shrink or grow? like what if he just refuses to acknowledge the love or hate of some rando
@@barrothontherocks3325 the way I see it, Clifford started growing shortly after his adoption. At that point, his owners were still close to complete strangers to him. It stands to reason that Clifford should then grow/shrink based on the feelings of those who surround him.
There's a comic someone made showing Clifford is actually a normal dog color, the red is just because he tends to get soaked in the blood of his victims.
I remember seeing an episode of Clifford's TV show on public broadcast television when I was younger. In one episode, it was shown that when you scratch Clifford underneath his neck, he involuntarily stomps his legs. This results in Earthquakes. And if you lay him on his back and do so, his feet will involuntarily stomp the air, creating Wind Storms.
Because Clifford grew so much from Emily Elizabeth’s love, this says that no dog is truly loved by their owner in the Clifford universe. Except for Clifford.
Also imagine him barking, the average retriever (assuming that’s what Clifford is) has a bark of 110 decibels. That’s as loud as a jackhammer or a thunderclap. Now imagine that but almost 20 times as loud. Let’s hope Clifford doesn’t get excited, or ever even SEE something like a cat or a squirrel
And that was how big he got with the love of one little girl, a girl with a family to absorb a portion of her love. imagine if we dropped puppy clifford off at an orphange full of kids with no outlet for their love. Entire kingdoms would crumble beneath his paws.
The opening makes you feel at first that Huggbees’ fear has caused him to destroy his home in a fit of Red Dog induced paranoia. As he goes on though, you soon realize the reason he is ready to use his Break Stick is because Clifford has already taken everything from him, and he has nothing left to lose.
I was forced to deal with these exact same thoughts when I saw the cover to that new Clifford movie on a RedBox machine while locking up my bike at a gas station. Seeing the (attempted) photorealistic rendering of that massive mutt broke that illusion I have been in ever since I read the books as a kid. I thought "Oh my god, first thing that happens is the owners die from it getting too excited. Then it goes looking for vast quantities of food. Oh no, it's like Godzilla but with way more energy and speed. We would probably have to have the military launch a strike...", and at that point I gave up on the thought and said out loud to the RedBox machine "Thank god you aren't real, you terror beast." I feel so validated by this video.
A healthy respect of creatures like Clifford is well warranted. If he grows with love, I'd avoid "fearing" him. We don't have data on what effect that emotion has on him.
you missed something important. hes not a kaiju. think about it, sure hes big which is very kaiju like, but people run away from kaijus. but clifford is treated a totally normal, and he doesn't grow from food, or radiation like a kaiju but from "love"? a human emotion? clifford is an eldritch being how contorts the minds of those who perceive him and feeds off of human emotion!
I saw Clifford the Big Red Dog at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his paw shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen boxes of dog treats in his paws without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the boxes and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each box and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I knew about the new Clifford movie mainly because Mentone, Indiana, where my elementary school was, has the world's largest egg, and that showed up in some of the promotional material
Clifford gotta be a terrifying hunter in the night when his owners are asleep, like he gotta be eating people, no way is he content with dog kibble. He is a horrifying, man eating, car sized shit taking, horrifying monster.
The fact that huggbees wears sunglasses while making his videos, shows his massive amount of confidence . He knows we can see everything on his moniter. just the sheer arogance exuding from this man, is enough to make any man tremble in fear.
Huggbee always wears sunglasses because he's like Maduca but instead of turning people to stone he turns them into intelligence beings like him so he wears sunglasses to give was knowledge the proper way
Well, that was eye opening/nightmare inducing. I feel like like a veil has been parted and I can see this world for the rotted horror it is, please help.
you forgot to mention that the fact that clifford canonically got so big because emily elizabeth loved him so much means that everyone else doesnt love their dogs very much at all because their dogs are still regular size.
I mean, if Clifford can become as large as he did from a child’s love, what OTHER animals can grow in size in the Clifford universe? Household cats? Frogs? Birds? Are all animals in his world able to grow immensely in stature just by excessive affection?
I just fear on how much money it would be to clean up his poo, they would need to rent a backhoe every damn day; also, anywhere he goes would not have grass or any plants due to this too
There is an ancient Fucktalian legend of a big red dog. It describes that this "dog" can grow to a maximum height of 1302m if many people love him. That might be why they made the movie so that more people love clifford and he grows larger every day...
My biggest fear would be someone that could consistently feed Clifford love and cause him to become limitlessly massive.

So what I'm hearing is, it's not Clifford that's the problem. It's Emily!

"Let's talk about Clifford' size and girth" yeah, I mean, that does sound about right...
So Clifford was mutated due to an abundance of love which implies that love is a radioactive energy source. Definitely a kaiju.
Is that what we blew up Hiroshima with?
When Clifford said "It's dogging time" was truly one horror moment.

Another one... Hobbes is a weeping angel that can only move when Calvin looks at him alone. Hobbes can move objects.
Incorrect. Hobbes has snuck up on Calvin on numerous occasions.
Also, from an animal caretaker perspective: dogs eat meat. The reason you can keep apex predators like lions in a zoo reasonably is that they do not eat all that often; they sleep a lot to conserve energy between feedings. You know what doesn't sleep as much as a cat between feedings and is basically bred to eat on the same frequent time table as us? Dogs.
Now, think about how much grass it takes to feed an elephant.
For a dog the size of an elephant, or bigger as Clifford looks bigger than several elephants put together in many panels, you'd need that much meat. Every day.
Thing is, I think he shouldn't be that difficult to defeat, at least compared to other kaijus. Clifford's size is dependant on the love he receives. If we just get a bunch of people, maybe 100 at most, to surround Clifford, and collectively hate him, he will likely shrink down to a manageable size.
but that brings up an interesting question, does it need to be someone that he's close to to make him shrink or grow? like what if he just refuses to acknowledge the love or hate of some rando
@@barrothontherocks3325 the way I see it, Clifford started growing shortly after his adoption. At that point, his owners were still close to complete strangers to him. It stands to reason that Clifford should then grow/shrink based on the feelings of those who surround him.
Nowhere else is it implied that anyone OTHER than Emily has the ability to make Clifford grow
I expect this to turn into a full fledged horror movie when Clifford goes into Public Domain. We’ll crowdfund it if we need to.
A giant dog isn’t copyrighted as long as it isn’t a big red dog named Clifford.
Please never stop with the humor you provide, genuinely helping me through rough times
Don't you mean ruff times? :3

There's a comic someone made showing Clifford is actually a normal dog color, the red is just because he tends to get soaked in the blood of his victims.
That Wilhelm scream at the tail end of the video gets me every damn time!
I remember seeing an episode of Clifford's TV show on public broadcast television when I was younger. In one episode, it was shown that when you scratch Clifford underneath his neck, he involuntarily stomps his legs. This results in Earthquakes. And if you lay him on his back and do so, his feet will involuntarily stomp the air, creating Wind Storms.
Because Clifford grew so much from Emily Elizabeth’s love, this says that no dog is truly loved by their owner in the Clifford universe. Except for Clifford.
No, Emily is just too powerful
Also imagine him barking, the average retriever (assuming that’s what Clifford is) has a bark of 110 decibels. That’s as loud as a jackhammer or a thunderclap. Now imagine that but almost 20 times as loud. Let’s hope Clifford doesn’t get excited, or ever even SEE something like a cat or a squirrel
And that was how big he got with the love of one little girl, a girl with a family to absorb a portion of her love. imagine if we dropped puppy clifford off at an orphange full of kids with no outlet for their love.
Entire kingdoms would crumble beneath his paws.
Love ya Huggz. Thank you for making so many of us feel less weird by showing us that you have the same strange intrusive thoughts that we do.
Imagine dying from a red rocket turning you to mashed potatoes
🥵
@@jaayse nah bro you weird
Would cliffords red rocket be red though? 🧐
Holy shit what
@@NateAnarchy he's not weird, (s)he's just a white girl
Amazing level of restraint hugbees puts on display by not utilizing a "what da dog doin" SoundCloud even once during this video
holy shit, the way that was edited was outstanding. that ending trailer bit could actually get me sold on a Clifford Horror movie.
Bro shitford the big fat log got me cracking up
The opening makes you feel at first that Huggbees’ fear has caused him to destroy his home in a fit of Red Dog induced paranoia. As he goes on though, you soon realize the reason he is ready to use his Break Stick is because Clifford has already taken everything from him, and he has nothing left to lose.
I was forced to deal with these exact same thoughts when I saw the cover to that new Clifford movie on a RedBox machine while locking up my bike at a gas station. Seeing the (attempted) photorealistic rendering of that massive mutt broke that illusion I have been in ever since I read the books as a kid. I thought "Oh my god, first thing that happens is the owners die from it getting too excited. Then it goes looking for vast quantities of food. Oh no, it's like Godzilla but with way more energy and speed. We would probably have to have the military launch a strike...", and at that point I gave up on the thought and said out loud to the RedBox machine "Thank god you aren't real, you terror beast."
I feel so validated by this video.
A healthy respect of creatures like Clifford is well warranted.
If he grows with love, I'd avoid "fearing" him. We don't have data on what effect that emotion has on him.
This was incredible, you gotta make more like this
My eyes have been opened in ways I have never thought possible. I’m awakened, enlightened and can now successfully contemplate infinity
In the cartoon, Clifford's friend Cleo said that Clifford is still young.
Meaning that Clifford might not have finished growing yet.
It's just constant bangers from you. You have one of the most interesting and engaging channels on RUclips.
Canonically Clifford is only so big BECAUSE Emily loves him so much, if Clifford is a kaiju then Emily is the eldritch being who made him so.
You could be scared of spiders, the Cleveland Browns, heights, but no. Clifford the Big Red Dog
you missed something important. hes not a kaiju. think about it, sure hes big which is very kaiju like, but people run away from kaijus. but clifford is treated a totally normal, and he doesn't grow from food, or radiation like a kaiju but from "love"? a human emotion? clifford is an eldritch being how contorts the minds of those who perceive him and feeds off of human emotion!
The Big Red Garfield
He is an ancient one.
Actually a really good horror trailer at the end. Well done
I saw Clifford the Big Red Dog at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his paw shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen boxes of dog treats in his paws without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the boxes and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each box and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
The General Lee has healing powers that regenerate it from any injury, including total destruction in a short duration. That’s scary.
I remember I had a Clifford plushy and I was absolutely devastated when I lost it
10:46 - indie filmmakers the second Clifford enters the public domain
Clifford canonically being bigger than God gives me the same vibe of John Lennon being canonically bigger than Jesus
That ending movie trailer was better than most Hollywood films
*Clifford is a Colossus from Shadow of the Colossus.*
*And it's about time we treated him like one.*
I mean He’s not grey with Stone Armor with Bright blue eyes, but yeah
that movie trailer at the end was pure icing on this already perfect cake of a video
Huggbees is the only person that can make me laugh just by entering the frame 🤣
I knew about the new Clifford movie mainly because Mentone, Indiana, where my elementary school was, has the world's largest egg, and that showed up in some of the promotional material
Clifford gotta be a terrifying hunter in the night when his owners are asleep, like he gotta be eating people, no way is he content with dog kibble. He is a horrifying, man eating, car sized shit taking, horrifying monster.
The end of this video is pure internet gold. I was already a fan of your content and am making your way through your catalog… but omg, BIG RED DOG
Clifford never really scared me but you know what did? The giant elephant thing from Sesame Street and big bird.
Just casually pulls a microphone out of his pocket
Finally, another sane, Clifford-fearing man
I'm here for the "whatever the fuck" era of our dear Mr. Bees
Now thinking about it, I kind of wanna see a movie where Clifford fight Godzilla.
The fact that huggbees wears sunglasses while making his videos, shows his massive amount of confidence . He knows we can see everything on his moniter. just the sheer arogance exuding from this man, is enough to make any man tremble in fear.
Clifford would be like a Megalodon sized dog. The Megalodon of the land! Now that is terrifying...
That Clifford horror movie style trailer at the end is too epic. Nice job
Who is Gbees, and why do I hug him?
gbees is behind famous songs like “night fever” and “staying alive”
i like ya cut Gbees
The movie trailer edit at the end was incredible. Well done!
Huggbee always wears sunglasses because he's like Maduca but instead of turning people to stone he turns them into intelligence beings like him so he wears sunglasses to give was knowledge the proper way
All this will be accounted for and depicted in Hideaki Anno's reimagining, "Shin Clifford", coming next Fall.
I always found him quite scary, in all his antics. What if he gets hungry and eats an entire bus?
Well, that was eye opening/nightmare inducing. I feel like like a veil has been parted and I can see this world for the rotted horror it is, please help.
"Clifford is a kaiju"
me: *imagined a movie about Clifford destroying buildings and fighting Godzilla*
that be a badass version of Clifford lmfao
Clifford was my oldest childhood movie, and I still love Clifford till this day.
"We need to determine cliffords girth" and other fun hugbees qoutes to tell your kids
I love hearing you rant about the most random stuff
you forgot to mention that the fact that clifford canonically got so big because emily elizabeth loved him so much means that everyone else doesnt love their dogs very much at all because their dogs are still regular size.
Or maybe it’s Emily’s love specifically that caused him to grow
having a pet that grows to the size of a house is terrifying
a story like that would have the same atmosphere as The Iron Giant
I mean, if Clifford can become as large as he did from a child’s love, what OTHER animals can grow in size in the Clifford universe? Household cats? Frogs? Birds? Are all animals in his world able to grow immensely in stature just by excessive affection?
That trailer actually gave me chills...incredible editing man...I'd love to see the movie for real
I just fear on how much money it would be to clean up his poo, they would need to rent a backhoe every damn day; also, anywhere he goes would not have grass or any plants due to this too
You've convinced me and successfully ruined my childhood. Well done.
We definitely need a Clifford horror movie now!
I’ll direct it!
His size inconsistency was ma favorite part of the show.
Imagine he becomes bigger than the Earth and eats it like a piece of kibble
Okay, but I need the horror version of this. It tickles sooooo many themes. Take my money!!
There is an ancient Fucktalian legend of a big red dog. It describes that this "dog" can grow to a maximum height of 1302m if many people love him. That might be why they made the movie so that more people love clifford and he grows larger every day...
I don't know how to explain how these videos make me feel but it's in a good way
I wonder what's the vet going to say after seeing Clifford
So from a documentary on Genghis Kahn to Clifford the Big Red Dog.... lovin' that youtube search!
