It’s all hands on deck after head rooster J.T. Cluck files an alarming report that the Charlies have invaded the ranch! And, things go from bad to worse when, in the midst of the chaos, Drover turns up missing. Between J.T.’s report and some important clues from Pete, the Security Force has no choice but to assume that he’s been taken hostage! Will Hank be able to rescue his deputy from the Charlies in time—or even find out where they’re hiding him—or is it curtains for everyone’s favorite sidekick?
In “The Back-Scratching Song,” Hank revels in the profound joy of a good back-scratch from Slim.

Plato is back...that is, back on the scene. Once again, he's lost and Beulah is worried. However, when she calls on Hank to head up a rescue effort, little do either of them realize that their search will lead them right into the path of the hungry cannibal brothers, Rip and Snort. Will Hank be able to protect Miss Beulah and find Plato, or will help–for both of them–come from an unexpected source? Find out in this new mystery from everyone's favorite Head of Ranch Security!

From the Preface by John R. Erickson:
"Hank has become a popular fellow. We have sold over nine million books about his adventures, and we are now hearing from second and third generation Hank fans. They, too, are curious. They want to know...who is Hank? Where did he come from and how did all of this come about?
In Q&A sessions and in replies to fan letters, I'm not able to address those questions in the manner they deserve because the answers are not always short or simple. They require a bigger canvas and that is the purpose of this book."
There are fun and interesting answers to questions about where characters in the Hank series came from, got their names, are any based on real animals or people, growing up in Perryton, recording Hank on audio books, Hank songs, where do story ideas come from and so many more questions? Packed full with color illustrations and pictures, this behind-the pages book is the ultimate gift for Hank the Cowdog fans and readers.

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?
