While rounding up steer for a auction in town, Hank the Cowdog accidentally finds himself riding with them in the cattle truck. Jimmy Joe the dogcatcher finds Hank rummaging through some trash cans and quickly snatches him up into the cage on his truck. After a bit Hank realizes he is in the cage with an old pal, Dogpound Ralph. Little does Hank know Ralph knows how to escape from the cage and loves to go on a "Fling." Hank decides to join Ralph and they set out for a "Fling" on the town. They will cause trouble but of course they'll get away with it. See what Ralph has up his sleeve before Hank decides to make the long trek back home to the ranch.
After reading this book to the class, I would have them imagine they were Hank the Cowdog and predict what his next "case" would be. They would write a short description and include some dialogue that might would take place on his mission. Once they have finished they will each share their predictions with the class. I will collect them and post them on the wall outside our classroom for everyone to see.
