Bookroo's summary

Hank the Cowdog is stuck in town, facing off against Rambo, a fearsome Great Dane with a peculiar weakness—an uncontrollable urge to chase cars. As Hank navigates the chaos of the Eighteen-wheeler Marathon, he spins tales of bravery to his young relatives and teams up with Dog-Pound Ralph. Can Hank outsmart Rambo and restore peace, or will the town remain under the shadow of this barking menace? Dive into a tale of courage, cleverness, and canine antics.

From the publisher

What happens when Hank the Cowdog finds himself stuck in town and facing the mean, monster Great Dane, “Rambo”? Rambo’s only weakness is that he’s a car-barkaholic. He just can’t resist chasing and barking at passing cars. Join Hank as he runs the Eighteen-wheeler Marathon, charms his nieces and nephews with tales of courage, and enlists Dog-Pound Ralph in a scheme to banish Rambo.
