Synopsis
For starters, he's the star of the hilarious, best-selling series that USA Today calls "the best family entertainment in years." He's also a tough-talking, big-hearted, West Texan cowdog whose position as Head of Ranch Security consistently lands him in all kinds of amusing trouble. Even after an exhausting morning defending the ranch, Hank still has energy left for a fishing trip. But what starts as a routine expedition turns into a first-class crisis when Hank reels in more than he bargained for. A fishhook finds its way into Hank's stomach, which is just about the worst news a dog can hear. Is there hope for Hank, or is it curtains for everyone's favorite cowdog?

Reviews
Grade 3-6-Erickson once again captures the voice of a gullible, lovable dog in this new installment about a big-eared pooch who lives on and guards a ranch. He decides to "help" Slim Chance, the ranch's hired hand, deliver a calf, resulting in an "enraged heifer" and lots of laughs. Later that day, when the five-year-old son of Hank's owner disobeys his mother and goes fishing on his own, he takes the dog with him. Unable to resist, Hank eats the liver that the boy is using as bait. It doesn't take long for the pup to put two and two together and discover that a missing fishhook is in his stomach along with the liver. Slim's attempts to remove it using soap bubbles instead of surgery are wonderfully funny. The author portrays the canine's actions and thoughts in a humorous manner while using just the right amount of suspense to keep the pages turning.
