Clifford's Puppy Days by Norman Bridwell

I always loved Clifford as a kid. Now that I am an adult, I occasionally notice certain things in kid's books that now strike me as strange or a bit twisted. Here is a prime example:
In Puppy Days, Emily Elizabeth tells of all the trouble caused due to Clifford being so tiny as a puppy. He causes quite a commotion in a bakery, ruins a wedding cake, and a little boy lets his Saint Bernard clean the frosting off of Clifford.

Everyone is happy in the end and Emily says the boy's dog is the biggest she has ever seen until Clifford grew up.

But wait, somehow we have skipped over the real story that I want to know: why is the little boy now crippled and in a wheelchair?! What happened there Norman Bridwell?

That is all.
