Publisher's summary

The heat is on!

It's summertime, and the weather on Hank's West Texas ranch is hot and dry. So dry, in fact, that everyone is on the lookout for prairie fires. So Hank bravely adds the title of Head of Fire Safety to his already impressive list of responsibilities and gets to work.

But patrolling for fires is dull, and it's hard to do on an empty stomach. Despite the distractions - desperate hunger, a cruel trick at the hands of Pete the Barncat - Hank somehow manages to stay focused on the job at hand. And it's a good thing he does, because sure enough, things on the ranch start to heat up!

Hank sings a song about "Chickens", and later he follows the sound of buzzards, singing, "Call in the Dogs, Put Out the Fire".

Hot dog: Don't miss out on any of Hank the Cowdog's adventures.

love the stories that include Wallace and Junior.

Great story and seems like it may be based on true to life events. Wallace and Junior are some of our favorite characters. Never know when they will show up. Really fun story.

Another Great Story.

Another example of great story writing, and story telling. I wish someone would make a movie out of one of his books.
