Clifford did his best to draw Emily Elizabeth, he really did. So he carries the poster around in his massive mouth, pausing every so often at the sight of a human to show it to them, eyes imploring.
Have you seen my Emily Elizabeth?

Have you seen my Emily Elizabeth?
Emily Elizabeth always said that when you lose something you're supposed to draw a picture of it and hang it up.
That way other people can help it find its way back to you.
So he finds a big big piece of cardboard and a little boy takes great pleasure in giving him a massive crayon when he sees him toting the 'canvas' through town.
He pictures her face and sets to work.
Clifford cannot draw...
It's the thought that counts.
Clifford has been Cliffording for two full hours and Clifford-mun feels brave enough to go back to almost not quite Emily Elizabeth-ing, this Emily not really Emily but still little, and blonde.
Clifford is here to comfort both mun and other muns and muses, and Clifford has all the pretty things stacked up neatly to be answered later. If you need Clifford there is little letters you can send him, and square boxes you can tag with his name.
Clifford loves you all very much.
This is a whole lot of dog and a very small woman. But God she loves dogs. She might be tearing up a little. She really loves dogs. "Hi, baby boy. Can I pet you?” If she can reach, that is.
Lucky for her, Clifford is quite used to adjusting himself to be safe to maneuver around. She's not quite as small as Emily Elizabeth, though it's very hard to tell from twenty five feet up, but she's still little and blonde and Clifford is instantly endeared. He gives a clear and purposeful nod, backing up several feet to flop down on his side. This makes it hard for him to shift too quick, and allows little children to climb up easily onto his back if they wished.
Of course you can, dear brand new friend. I shall wait right here until you gain your bearings, I understand I am imposingly large, do not worry.
This blog makes me feel very calm.
[ Clifford will stand by your side, your knight in shining red coat until the end of time. He admires humans for their long memory and loyalty to him, and wants them to know as long as they believe in him and longer still he will believe in them and do his best to keep them safe. All the children and grown ups have a bit of Emily Elizabeth about them, and he loves Emily Elizabeth so much that her love back filled him up and that’s what made him so tall. ]
"One of my sons is a wolf about your side. I…learned."
My Emily Elizabeth was learning, but then I lost her. It's possible then, to learn all the words?
( — hold on. )
There was no offense, apologies.
I accept your apologies gladly, I was simply confused. My Emily Elizabeth says it is always good to ask for clarification when confused. For example, Clifford would like to know how a human just changed into a dog, if it's not too much trouble.
"Your…what now?"
My Emily Elizabeth. You speak dog, friend?
[Hulk is big. This dog is big. Dogs are not usually as big as Hulk. Hulk will investigate.]
Dog.
[ He is rather concerned. Still, he is a rather polite animal as well and it's never good to make assumptions. So he will simply wonder if Green knows the dog language. ]
Green friend. I am not sure what species to identify you as.
[ OH MY GOD. ]
[ ALARMED SLASH EXCITED YIPPING THAT ROUGHLY TRANSLATES TO ‘OH MY GOD’ IN DOG LANGUAGE, THE LANGUAGE OF DOGS. ]
[ A polite bark back, acknowledging as he inclines his mighty head to the other canine. That is an interesting trick. He was not aware humans could do it. Perhaps she would show it to Emily Elizabeth? He was sure his Emily still loved magic. ]
I could understand you fine in either form, my friend, but I appreciate the ability to speak back.
"…I have seen stranger."
But have you seen my Emily Elizabeth?

Humans sometimes scream when happy.
Clifford hopes this is the case.
( Excited barking. )
Excuse me friend, I am unsure whether or not to take offense. Could you repeat that?
Clifford, has Emily Elizabeth ever been bullied? I don't know what to do. Do you know if she'd have any advice? Do you have any advice?
[ Not since her dog has miraculously grown to twenty five feet tall. Emily Elizabeth is naturally so overflowing with love that her reaction to cruelty is to try to ease the soul of the one being cruel. Clifford understands that sometimes when people are mean someone gets left behind or forgotten. Emily Elizabeth would tell you to try to befriend your bully, but Clifford thinks that perhaps you should try to understand what they are getting out of being cruel to you. ]
[ From the context, Clifford assumes that it is not simple neglect, though that hurts in itself. He is a mere dog, but he thinks of how to avoid something that may want to hurt him in the wild. First you should try to avoid coming in contact with them entirely, not to give them a chance. If that doesn’t work, try to make yourself as tall, brave, and confidence in appearance as possible. They may not take a swing if they think it won’t affect you. Find a friend, don’t bully back, don’t hit back, and find an adult. Dogs are not so mean to each other, Clifford is sorry that people are. ]
In a feeble attempt to earn the dog's affection, Iruka whispers soothing dolphin clicks to it.
Not only does Sensei seem to think that Clifford can read, he somehow has come to the conclusion that since Clifford is clearly an aquatic mammal he can speak dolphin.
Clifford hates to break this to Sensei, but Clifford is a dog.
[ climbs onto a ladder to scratch Clifford behind the ears ]
[ She is not his Emily Elizabeth, but she is small and blonde and seems like home, and his long tongue wags out in contentment at the action. ]
I am grateful and I love you.
