Hank and Drover are excited when a quick nap in the back of Slim's pickup turns into a trip to town. But the excitement turns to drama when they find themselves at the livestock show, and Drover decides to take off to visit his mother. Can Hank track down his faithful sidekick before Slim heads back to the ranch? Or is he off on a wild goose chase?

John R. Erickson, a former cowboy and ranch manager, is gifted with a storyteller's knack for spinning a yarn. Through the eyes of Hank the Cowdog, a smelly, smart-aleck Head of Ranch Security, Erickson gives readers a glimpse of daily life on a ranch in the West Texas Panhandle. This series of books and audios is in school libraries across the country, has sold more than 8 million copies, was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and has won an Audie for Outstanding Children's Series from the Audio Publisher's Association. Publishers Weekly called Hank a "grassroots publishing phenomena," and USA Today said this is "the best family entertainment in years."
