Then Beulah-the long-eared lady dog of his dreams-shows up at the ranch, and Hank is thrilled. At last, he thinks, she's finally given up her infatuation with Plato the Bird Dog. But it turns out that Plato is missing, and Beulah wants Hank to help find him. Can he put his doggie dreams aside and do the right thing? And will hunting for Plato help with his chewing problem? It's all in a day's work for everyone's favorite Head of Ranch Security!

Editorial Reviews

Author-narrator Erickson is back for the 52nd installment in the saga of that loveable canine, Hank, head of ranch security. This time out, Hank must enter coyote territory to find a missing bird dog and win the heart of his collie-love, Beulah. Erickson’s humor and laconic delivery are just some of the reasons to stick with Hank through his many adventures. Erickson slips into this dog's head—and voice—like they're his favorite cowboy boots, well worn but with a lot of miles left in them. Hank remains an “Everydog,” responsible as long as somebody's watching and heroic when he smells a reward. M.M.C. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
