About This Book

A household dog pursues a placid cat, but the cat is taken with a flashy parrot whose boasts of travel and comforts draw her away while the dog suffers neglect. The dog later discovers the parrot courting an elderly widow for her savings and brings the cat to overhear, prompting the cat to expose and attack the parrot. The parrot is disgraced, confined, and shunned, the widow retains her secret, and the dog’s steady devotion is ultimately rewarded when the cat returns her affection the following spring.
