Bookroo's summary
Hank, a loyal ranch dog, suddenly inherits a fortune in the form of a Priceless Corncob. As he grapples with newfound wealth, Hank faces a dilemma: should he abandon his role as Head of Ranch Security for a life of luxury? Alongside his friend Drover, Hank navigates the challenges of wealth, friendship, and identity. Will riches change him forever, or will he realize the true value of his simple life? Discover the humorous and heartwarming journey of a dog torn between riches and loyalty.
From the publisher
What happens when an honest, hard working dog falls heir to a fortune? How is Hank, a steak loving dog, changed so that he would say, “We’d be fools to trade priceless corncobs for a miserable pile of steak scraps”? Hank and Drover fight over “money,” put on airs, even quit their jobs, and leave the ranch.
