Part of the Hank the Cowdog series
A drought-stricken ranch faces disaster as a prairie fire looms and a birthday plot unfolds.
Hank the Cowdog, Head of Ranch Security, battles the worst drought ever. With ponds dry and pastures barren, chaos erupts when Pete the Barncat schemes to ruin Loper's birthday. As a prairie fire threatens, the ranch's survival hangs by a thread. Can Hank save the day and bring back the rain needed to restore peace and prosperity?
The 65th adventure from Hank the Cowdog!
Hank the Cowdog has seen dry summers in his years as the Head of Ranch Security, but nobody on the ranch has seen a drought like this. Ponds have dried up, the creek is down to a trickle, pastures have turned to burned toast, and the cows are kicking up clouds of dust. Then, to top it all off, Pete the Barncat hatches a dastardly plot to ruin Loper’s birthday! The last thing the cowboys need is a prairie fire, but that’s what they get, and it begins to look like the next roundup might be their last. What the ranch really needs is a good rain to bring back the grass . . . and Loper’s good mood!
