Erickson, John R.

In Canadian, Texas, in 1927, not long after his father's death, Riley and his fiddle-playing grandfather must find a way to save the family ranch from a group of moonshiners and the men behind their operation.

While trying to outwit his arch enemy Pete the Barncat, Hank the Cowdog is duped into believing a worthless corncob will bring him fame and fortune.

Hank the Cowdog, Head of Ranch Security, is framed for the murder of a chicken and becomes an outlaw with the coyotes.

Hank the Cowdog and Deputy Drover investigate a monster that appears just as they are about to arrest Eddy the Rac for ripping one of Sally May's sheets while it hangs on the clothesline.

Hank the Cowdog recounts how he barely escaped crazy Slim and his tail-eating vacuum sweeper and single-handedly saved the ranch from a huge catastrophe.

After getting blamed when Sally May's car ends up in a snowdrift, Hank suspects that this is another plot by Pete the Barncat to get him in trouble.

While performing his duties on the ranch, Hank the Cowdog finds that his bones are disappearing, and his friend Drover claims to have seen a monster do it.

Hank goes in search of Plato, a wayward bird dog, and finds himself face to face with an angry feral hog and her litter.

While Slim and Loper are away from the ranch for three days, Hank suffers from the bumblebee sting.

Hank the Cowdog uses his keen detective skills to find the ruffian responsible for digging holes in Sally May's garden.
