After subjecting strawberry ice cream to rigorous product testing, test-driving a mysterious spaceship, and thwarting a sneak attack from a couch monster, Hank faces the fight of his life.

As the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, Hank narrows down the pool of suspects and finds himself drawn into a deep, dark conspiracy orchestrated by his mortal enemy - or is it mortal enemies?

It's Valentine's Day on the ranch but bachelor-cowboy Slim Chance doesn't know it. Sally May tells him to forget about the cows and "Go to town and buy a nice gift for Miss Viola!"

Or will his overactive appetite get the best of him? Find out in this latest installment to the hilarious Hank the Cowdog series.

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 one! 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 cake! The last thing the cowboys need is a prairie fire, but that's what they get, and it begins to look like the next roundup might be their last. What the ranch really needs is a good rain to bring back the grass...and Loper's good mood! Hank and Drover team up to sing both the "Drought Song" and, following an "accident" in Slim's truck, "We Feel So Ashamed."

The garden's been invaded! No sooner has Sally May finished planting her vegetable garden when some kind of unearthly being decides to burrow in the neatly planted rows of tomatoes and peppers.
