From the publisher

On a blustery day in late fall, Hank sneaks into the back of Slim’s pickup and finds himself at a neighboring rancher’s fall branding…the very neighbor, in fact, who owns the gorgeous Miss Scamper the Beagle! Unfortunately, Miss Scamper has always been a little hard to figure out, and he can’t decide if she’s crazy about

him…or just plain crazy. And, as the day unfolds, it even begins to look like she’s angling to land him in a heap of trouble with her pit bull boyfriend, Steel!
