Loper and Sally May have left Slim to manage the ranch while they go off to visit the relatives for the holidays. But just when it begins to look like another boring bachelor Christmas with Slim, a storm blows in and the electric fence separating a herd of steer from the highway shorts out. Now, it's up to Slim, Viola, and the ranch's Security Division to jump into action! Things take a surprising twist when Slim comes down with a burning fever in the middle of the operation, but nobody could have been ready for the surprise that transpires on the way to the hospital!

It's early springtime on the ranch, and Hank is going through the usual motions of making sure that a warm spring arrives safely: singing songs about it, barking faithfully each morning, and helping the cowboys with their work around the ranch. However, in the midst of a particularly hard day's nap, he receives a report that his little birdy friend, Madame Moonshine, is in danger of being eaten by Pete the Barncat! Naturally, Hank springs into action to save her, but a misstep brings the wrath of Sally May down on him, and Hank must flee the scene and travel west on the Oregon Trail.

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. Why on earth would she go for a bird-brained bird dog when a specimen like Hank stands ready to sweep her off her feet? Could there be more to this problem than meets the eye?

Publisher's Summary

Stakeout in the canyon. Someone has been stealing calves from Uncle Johnny's pasture, and it's up to Hank and Slim to put a stop to it. In the hopes of catching the "crinimals" in the act, they set up camp in the field just north of the canyon. But the stakeout isn't all fun and games. Before the rustlers even make an appearance, Hank must overcome the poisoned weenies, weather a run-in with a larger-than life guard dog, and survive a tussle with the dreaded coyote brothers. But despite all the distraction, when the time comes to nab the calf-snitchers, everyone's favorite Head of Ranch Security is there to do the job.

Hear two songs - "See the Morning Sun Ascending" and "Alas and Alack".
Hot dog: Don't miss out on any of Hank the Cowdog's adventures.

Funny. Funnier. Funniest!!

Where does The Case of the Midnight Rustler rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Our family has been a fan of these audio books since the 1980's. They are delightful and entertaining to us adults and to kids of all ages. The characters are entertaining. John Erickson is the author and also a terrific voice actor. He truly understands the mind - and heart - of a dog!! His stories have a rich plot full of great characters, lots of wit and humor. Hank has a very inflated idea of his position on the ranch and is always in scrapes which he gets out of by sheer luck or pure bumbling. These are great to listen to in the car, on long trips. at bedtime... We wore our tapes out and went to CDs and now we have them on the computer through Audible. You will not go wrong starting with book 1 and just adding to your collection a book at a time!
