There’s a raging rottweiler named Bruiser loose on the ranch, and it’s up to Hank to teach this visiting pooch some manners. It’s rumored that Bruiser is all talk and no action. However, when he attacks a defenseless fawn, Hank’s not so sure. Does Hank have what it takes to put this crazy canine in his place? Or are Hank’s dog days numbered?
Hank and Drover sing the “Let Us in the House Song.” Later, Drover sings an educational piece called, “It’s Not Smart to Show Your Hiney to a Bear.”
It’s time for the ranch’s annual Fourth of July picnic, and what begins as a happy occasion soon takes a sinister turn when Drover reports that a wart-spreading toad is endangering the occupants of the ranch house! And that’s not all... Soon after that
near-disaster, he discovers that a couple of town thugs – Buster and Muggs – have come carousing, threatening the success of the entire picnic. Will Hank be able to single-handedly rid his ranch of this sudden influx of invaders, or is it possible that he’ll receive help from an entirely unexpected quarter?
It’s Slim’s birthday, and the day is off to a great start when Miss Viola delivers a pan of fresh-made cinnamon rolls!

When he appears on the scene, things go from bad to worse when Snips decides to hold his ground, resulting in a showdown that earns Hank a trip to the vet. Once in town, Hank decides to enjoy his trip to the big city and quickly winds up on the wrong side of some pretty tough local mutts. Will Hank ever make it back to his ranch?
In this audiobook, Slim serenades Hank with “Old Hankie Was a Hero But He Got His Hiney Kicked” on their way into Twitchell. Later, back at the ranch, Sally May sings a soothing rendition of “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent."
