Ep 29. Best Paw Forward / Then Came Bob

In the episode "Best Paw Forward / Then Came Bob" of Clifford the Big Red Dog season 1, we see our beloved canine protagonist Clifford getting ready for a big talent show. It's a chance for him to showcase his unique skills and impress his friends in Birdwell Island. Emily Elizabeth, his loyal owner and best friend, is there to help him prepare.

Emily is excited to be part of the talent show as well, but she's having trouble deciding what to do. She tries different acts, but nothing seems to feel right. In the end, Emily realizes that she doesn't need a talent to participate in the show. All she needs is to be herself and support her friends.

Meanwhile, Clifford is trying to figure out what his special talent is. He's a big dog with big paws, but he's not quite sure how that can translate into a talent.
