Clifford the Big Red Dog is a 2-year-old male red dog whose appearance, disposition, and behavior are based on a giant dog. His size is inconsistent: While he is often shown being about 25 feet tall from paws to head, Clifford can appear far larger. The character's name is based on the imaginary childhood friend of creator Norman Bridwell's wife. Bridwell originally wanted to name a dog "Tiny", but Bridwell's wife persuaded him that "Clifford" was better. Clifford's pet owner is Emily Elizabeth, and Clifford has a mother, two brothers, and two sisters. Clifford's character was created when a Harper & Row editor advised Bridwell to write a story to go along with one of his pictures. Bridwell recalls she picked out his sketch of a baby girl with a horse-sized bloodhound, and casually said, "There might be a story in this" because there always was one.
