Opal went into Gertrude's Pets to find a collar for Winn Dixie. There she met Otis, a likable ex-con who played his guitar for the pets in the store he ran. She also met a lively parrot named Gertrude, named after the store's owner. Gertrude squawked, "Dog! Dog!" every time she saw Winn Dixie. Then she would fly and land on his head.
