Book 5. Hank and Dover take an adventure together ( )

Hank the Cowdog tickles my funnybone. His proclamations about what life is are so funny! I have to admit I felt a little sad about his love life, and I could see the train wreck in that love life coming, but I still laughed (albeit with a hint of guilt).

And yes, I need to read the next book in the series. Note that this book is simple enough for a child to understand, but obviously amuses adults as well. ( )

Hank the Cowdog is always a good and interesting read. Hank is always up for an adventure and throughout this book he is set out on finding his one true love. He is tired of working all the time so he leaves to begin his search. He did not realize how hard it would be to get a girl. This book will tell all the struggles that Hank went through to find his love. This book is a mystery on whether or not Hank is up for the challenge. ( )

Faded Love was plenty of fun with some excitement and danger thrown in. Hank is trying to interview the head rooster about a strange noise heard in the night when Drover reports something more important. It's Little Alfred's second birthday. He and Hank have fun while Sally May is looking for the camera. Sally May's opinion of their good time is such that Hank decides to quit the security business. He convinces Drover to go with him. Pete the Barncat is skeptical about how long the quitting will last.

Hank and Drover are in the mood for love (which was not one of the old songs played in the background). They meet the beautiful beagle from the cover. Miss Scamper is a confirmed flirt, but her owner is not interested in having Hank around. (I enjyed Miss Scamper's Mae West-style manner of speaking.)

Drover and Hank meet up with Rip and Snort. The Coyote brothers think fresh dog would make a dandy dinner. As usual, Hank does some fast talking to get out of trouble, but Drover manages to bring even more trouble with him. How will Hank keep them both from being torn limb from limb?

As for the romantic scene with Beulah the collie, she's right. Hank can't take a hint. Her duet with Hank shows she has a lovely voice. Pity he wasn't listening to her words.

Hank really saves the day in the end. I enjoyed High's opinion of one of Hank's skills.

Too bad my dad died before these books were written. He was an ol' country boy and I think he would have enjoyed them as much as I do. ( )
