Hank, a determined cowdog, makes a reckless bet with his nemesis, Pete the Barncat, to catch the elusive Lumberpile Bunny. Losing the wager costs Hank his job, pride, and even his bed. As he schemes to rid himself of Pete, Hank realizes that life without his rival lacks excitement. Can Hank find a way to reclaim his joy and purpose, or will his quest for revenge lead to unexpected discoveries? Dive into a tale of rivalry, redemption, and the surprising bonds that shape us.

From the publisher

Hank makes a foolish bet with his archenemy, Pete the Barncat, that he can catch the Lumberpile Bunny. He loses the wager, his job, his pride, and even his gunny sack bed under the gas tanks. Hank begins to plot revenge. He must dispose of the cat. That sounds simple. But without Pete, Hank discovers scrap time has lost all its joy and meaning.
