Bookroo's summary

Hank the dog faces unexpected chaos when a parrot arrives at the ranch, mimicking commands that lead to trouble. As Loper and Sally May grow frustrated with Hank's antics, he must unravel the mystery behind the bird's disruptive influence. Can Hank and his sidekick Drover solve the puzzle before it's too late, or will the parrot's mimicry cause more havoc? Dive into this quirky adventure where nothing is as it seems, and every bark and dig could be a clue to the truth.

From the publisher

When an odd twist of events brings a parrot to the ranch, Hank and Drover are not worried. After all, what harm can one mimicking bird do? So Hank decides to go about his business and do whatever Sally May and Loper ask him to. The only problem is, they don’t seem to appreciate his heeding their requests to bark louder or dig up the flowers. What’s really going on? Hank’s not sure, but he’s determined to get to the bottom of it!
