Bookroo's summary

Hank, the ranch dog, is on a mission to save his bird friend from a hungry barn cat. But when his rescue attempt goes awry, he must escape with Little Alfred on the Oregon Trail. As a sudden storm threatens to strand them, Hank's quick thinking and a little help from Madame Moonshine might be their only hope. Can Hank navigate the rising creek and return Alfred safely home, or will the wilds prove too much for this brave canine?

From the publisher

It’s early springtime on the ranch, and Hank is going through the usual motions of making sure that a warm spring arrives safely: singing songs about it, barking faithfully each morning, and helping the cowboys with their work around the ranch. However, in the midst of a particularly hard day’s nap, he

receives a report that his little birdy friend, Madame Moonshine, is in danger of being eaten by Pete the Barncat! Naturally, Hank springs into action to save her, but a misstep brings the wrath of Sally May down on his head, and Hank must flee the scene of the rescue and travel west on the Oregon Trail with Little Alfred. Later, when a freak storm causes the creek to rise, stranding Little Alfred far from the house, Hank must rely on his instincts

and clever witsand perhaps a little help from Madame Mooshineto keep them both safe and get Alfred back to his mother!
