Animation following the exploits of a big red dog, his friends Cleo and T-Bone, and his owner, Emily Elizabeth. Mr Bleakman gets grumpy when Clifford messes up his new potato garden, making Emily almost wish that he weren't her neighbour. But through flashbacks she is reminded of all the nice things he has done, and Emily learns that under his sometimes gruff exterior he is a nice man and a very good neighbour.
