Bookroo's summary

Hank the Cowdog faces his toughest challenge yet as a massive Rottweiler named Bruiser roams the ranch during a relentless heat wave. Rumored to be all bark and no bite, Bruiser's attack on a defenseless fawn leaves Hank questioning his own abilities. As Head of Ranch Security, Hank must confront this formidable foe. Will Hank's courage and wit be enough to restore order, or are his days as top dog over? The stakes are high, and the ranch's safety hangs in the balance.

From the publisher

The ranch is in the grip of a heat wave, and to make matters worse, there’s a raging rottweiler on the loose. It’s up to Hank the Cowdog, Head of Ranch Security, to teach the visiting pooch some manners. It’s rumored that Bruiser is all talk and no action, but when he attacks a defenseless fawn, Hank’s not sure what to think. Has Hank got what it takes to take care of this crazy canine? Or are his dog days numbered?
