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. 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 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...

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 his head, and Hank must flee the scene of the rescue and travel west on...

It's all fun and games until someone loses a goat When Deputy Kile calls in a favor and recruits Slim to help him round up some escaped goats that have made their way onto the ranch, a hilarious rodeo ensues
