“But he’s a very good watchdog. The bad boys don’t come around anymore. ”

“I throw a stick, and he brings it back to me. He makes mistakes sometimes.”

“But I have the biggest, reddest dog on our street. This is my dog --- Clifford. ”

“We play hide-and-seek. I’m a good hide-and-seek players. I can find Clifford, no matter where he hides.”

“Oh. I know he’s not perfect. He has some bad habits. He runs after cars. He catches some of them.”

“I’ll keep Clifford... Wouldn’t you?”

“I don’t care. You can keep your small dogs. You can keep all your black, white, brown, and spotted dogs.”
