Bookroo's summary

Hank the Cowdog faces a double dilemma: a mysterious illness called Eye-Crosserosis threatens his role as Head of Ranch Security, and his dream collie, Beulah, arrives with a rival. Desperate for a cure, Hank seeks help from Madame Moonshine, a peculiar owl, leading to wild adventures. Can Hank save his job and win Beulah's heart, or will his vision and dreams blur beyond repair?

From the publisher

Hank is stricken with Eye-Crosserosis. To make matters worse, Beulah, the collie of his dreams, shows up on the ranch with Plato (at least Hank thinks it’s Plato). Although he can’t see very well, Hank approaches the visiting dogs with the idea of winning his lady love and dusting Plato’s spots once and for all.
