Bookroo's summary

Hank faces a new challenge when a charming yellow Labrador joins the ranch's Security Division. As the ranch falls for this seemingly perfect dog, Hank struggles to find his place. But when the Labrador's quirks threaten the ranch's harmony, Hank must step up. Can he solve the crisis before it's too late, or will the newcomer overshadow him forever? Discover the unexpected twists in this tale of loyalty and rivalry.

From the publisher

Hank is helping the cowboys with the dangerous mission of rounding up a very angry bull when a strange twist of events brings a yellow Labrador onto the scene. The entire ranch quickly becomes enamored with this new addition to the ranch’s Security Division. Who wouldn’t love a good-natured dog who strikes fear into the hearts of angry bovine, wears a big sloppy grin all day, and adores the ranch kids? Where will Hank fit in now that there is a Perfect Dog on the scene? Hank sings a little thing called “Happy Dog,” and the yellow Labrador sings his story in “Happy’s Confession.”
