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

A terrible winter storm strikes the Texas Panhandle. Down at Slim's place, Hank and Drover listen to the wind howling outside, watching the snow pile up outside. The phone rings. It's High Loper. Baby Molly has a bad cough and needs medicine. Can Hank go out into the blizzard and make it all the way to Headquarters with the cough medicine? Or, will he be captured and eaten by Rip and Snort?

It's Hank's job to clear the ranch of all intruders--and that includes gophers. But when Hank's efforts causes a stampede in the middle of the cattle roundup, Loper decides that he wants Hank to learn some manners, so he's sending him to--gulp!--Obedience School. To Hank, this sounds like torture, complete with dank dungeons, torches burning on the walls, and menacing instructors who wield the rules of etiquette like weapons. Will he survive?

Of all the mysteries Hank has faced in his illustrious career as the Head of Ranch Security, the only one that still has him truly stumped is the key to unlocking Miss Beulah's heart.

When Plato wanders off Billy's ranch and Beulah discovers he's lost, she tries to enlist Hank's...

Wonder if cattle rustlers still exist? Well, they do. Hank and Slim go on a camping trip to see if they can catch the mysterious stranger who is stealing calves. Hank devours all of Slim's camp meat (weenies) and chews the tent rope in half during a thunderstorm. Slim gets soaked, but fortunately he never figures out why the rope broke.

This is no ordinary, run-of-the-mill ranch intrigue. No sir, this is a real, honest-to-goodness archaeological adventure! When an old friend of Slim's starts an archaeological dig near the ranch, it doesn't take long before little Alfred gets caught up in the excitement. And once Alfred manages to get himself invited to the dig, it isn't long before Hank follows. Hank finds himself face-to-face with the most ancient of bones-a huge bison bone that...

Hank the Cowdog has seen dry summers in his years as the Head of Ranch Security, but nobody on the ranch has seen a drought like this. Ponds have dried up, the creek is down to a trickle, pastures have turned to burned toast, and the cows are kicking up clouds of dust. Then, to top it all off, Pete the Barncat hatches a dastardly plot to ruin Loper's birthday! The last thing the cowboys need is a prairie fire, but that's what they get, and it begins...

When Hank finds himself up against Rip and Snort, the coyote brothers, he knows he has to do something fast. Hank unleashes his secret weapon, the Deadly Ha-Ha Game. The plan seems to work like a charm, but then Hank and his sidekick Drover find that even they cannot resist the lure of this deadly game. What happens next is no laughing matter! Is there such a thing as too much laughter?

On the first day of quail season Plato, the Bird Dog, is missing. At first, Hank is willing to let him stay lost. But when Beulah pleads for help, Hank caves in and takes off in search of Plato. Before he can catch a scent of the spotted bird dog, he finds himself face-to-face with an angry mother hog and her litter. Can Hank's quick wits help him out of this fix? Or will he become hog meat?
