Bookroo's summary

Hank, the ranch dog, is left to guard the homestead while the family vacations. But trouble brews when a crafty thief, aided by a mischievous monkey, starts stealing tools. As Hank confronts the clever primate, he must outwit the unusual duo to protect the ranch. Will Hank's canine instincts prevail, or will he be outsmarted by the cunning criminals? The stakes are high in this wild chase, where every move counts and surprises lurk around every corner.
