Bookroo's summary
Hank the Cowdog, head of ranch security, faces a daunting challenge when a calf is mysteriously killed. Tasked with solving the crime, Hank must infiltrate a coyote village and confront a pack of wild dogs. As he navigates this dangerous mission, Hank's detective skills are put to the ultimate test. Can he uncover the truth and restore peace to the ranch before it's too late? With Christmas Eve hanging in the balance, the stakes have never been higher for Hank and his friends.
From the publisher
On Christmas Eve, a killer coyote attacked the ranch, killing a calf. Lucky for Slim, Drover, and the rest of the gang, Hank the Cowdog came to the rescue and saved Christmas Eve. Since Sally May and High Loper were out of town, Slim and Hank returned to the ranch house to settle down for a long winter’s nap.
