The second book in the Hank the Cowdog series opens with Hank defending the ranch against the attack of a Silver Monster Bird. Later he is stricken with the dreaded disease, Eye-Crosserosis, and unless he can find a cure for this dangerous condition, his position as Head of Ranch Security is at stake! In his quest for the cure, Hank visits the cave of a witchy little owl named Madame Moonshine, and some crazy adventures follow.

Hank has his paws full when he discovers a mother cat and six kittens trespassing in a haystack on his very own ranch. (Have we mentioned that cowdogs don't like cats?) Join Hank as he is trapped in a runaway pickup, surrounded by a herd of stray cats, and forced to battle a raging bull. Can Hank stop the cats from taking over his ranch?

Hank is literally at the end of his rope in his tenth adventure. It's roundup time at the ranch and Hank is left behind, tied to a post, while a high-bred border collie named Bennie takes Hank's place and runs the show. How can Hank restore himself as Head of Ranch Security and reclaim his fame and fortune?

Hank the Cowdog and his sidekick Drover find themselves confronting a huge storm in the middle of the night.

A convoy of circus trucks is passing through the ranch. The last truck in the column hits a bump and a large red box falls off and comes to rest in the pasture. Hank and Drover investigate the box and discover that it contains a circus monkey. Pete advises Hank not to open it, but Hank's curiosity gets the best of him. What follows is fun and adventure.

When the ranch falls on hard times, Slim the cowboy decides to hit the road in search of a new job and inadvertently takes Hank and Drover with him.
