The dogs are Birdwell Island are pitted against each other in a race. I wonder how the dog with the legspan of a limousine will do against those a fraction of his size?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

At least post-race drug testing should clear up whether or not Emily Elizabeth has been doping Clifford with canine growth hormone all these years.
