This is a great and heartwarming addition to the "Hank the Cowdog" series. Along with tons of hillarious gags, this is one of Hank's best!

The beggining of the story is about Hank doing patrol and he saw three pickups. Then there were two dogs Benny and Miss Scamper.But Hank was roped by a man who got the wrong dog.The rope broke when Hank tried to get Pete the cat. Then he tries to turn the cattle away which he was sucessful but when he entered the jungle the coyote brothers caught him. They made Hank to do the contest who can eat him or not. But turns out that Hank wins by his sleeping song with the help of a buzzard named Junior. So Hank tries to look for Loper but he is stuck in the quicksand but Hank rescued him by his rope.The end is when Hank and Drover went to sleep. The interesting part of the story is when the buzzards came and Drover is silly and the coyote brothers do a contest with Hank. I enjoyed the story because of the new characters.

I love all the Hank books, and this is a great one for the Christmas season. These books are hilarious and more important to the young reader, fun to read. I'd also check the rest of the series.

This is the first book our 2nd/3rd/4th grade bookclub did. It is funny! The characters are colorful and the narration by Hank the Cowdog is clever and enjoyable to read. It is a light-hearted, fun read and we were able to have a great discussion if it.

This book to me is very funny. In the book a new dog comes to the ranch and Hank has to prove to Benny that he is the top dog. Hank gets mad because Benny tries to take the dog the Hank likes. He tries to prove to his master that he is the top dog but gets tied up why Benny has the time of his life. Hank acts like he is the head of security, which is called Head of Ranch Security. Hank is in a battle to keep his job at the round off. If you want a book that is super funny, then this book is for you.

Among his many other attributes, Hank the Cowdog has an uncanny ability to keep our entire family amused on long trips. Next to The Original Adventures of Hank The Cowdog (Vol. 1), this one is our favorite. Benny, the prize-winning cowdog-for-hire, very quickly gets under Hank's skin when he bumps Hank off the job of a roundup. Erickson's voicing of Benny is oddly reminiscent of William F. Buckley Jr., and works to great effect. Add the romantic element of Hank's love interest, Miss Beulah ("Mercy!", exclaims Hank) and the perceived threat Benny places there too, and the story becomes even more interesting. All against the regular backdrop of ranch life and supporting characters Drover, Plato, Loper and the rest of the gang, and the story is one of Hank's best romps. Enjoy!
