The Big Question

Hank the Cowdog

By: John R. Erickson

Narrated by: John R. Erickson

Loper and Sally May have left Slim to manage the ranch while they go off to visit the relatives for the holidays. But just when it begins to look like another boring bachelor Christmas with Slim, a storm blows in and the electric fence separating a herd of steer from the highway shorts out. Now, it's up to Slim, Viola, and the ranch's Security Division to jump into action!

Things take a surprising twist when Slim comes down with a burning fever in the middle of the operation, but nobody, and especially not Miss Viola could have been ready for the even bigger surprise that transpires on the way to the hospital! Slim sings a song about cowboy cooking called "Maters and Taters" and Hank sings about "Christmas Cookies".
