The Case of the Wounded Buzzard on Christmas Eve
Series: Hank the Cowdog, Book 13
Written and Narrated By: John R. Erickson
Length: 2 hrs and 11 mins
Hank the Cowdog’s rip-roaring’ ride through Christmas Eve!
Ya gotta love the Hank the Cowdog audiobooks! Hank is head of ranch security, and he’s a cowdog who takes himself FAR tooooo seriously. Along with his trusty sidekick, he gets in way over his head this Christmas Eve, as usual.
Slim, the ranch hand, has been wrangled into taking Hank, his sidekick Drover, and little Alfred, the ranch owner’s young son into town for the Christmas parade (even though he was only going to pop over for a bit of last minute Christmas shopping!). Along the way there’s a dramatic run-in with a buzzard, and little Alfred further suckers Slim into taking the wounded buzzard along to nurse him back to health when they’re back at the ranch.
But what’re ya gonna do in town, with civilized company, when you’re shadowed by a little boy, two dogs who can’t seem to stay out of trouble, and a woozy buzzard (and oh, there’s the buzzard’s distressed son, Junior, who will absolutely DIE if something worse happens to dear ol’ Pa!)?
With a soundtrack that’ll tickle your funny bone, songs performed by crotchety buzzards, a Christmas carol or two, The Case of the Wounded Buzzard on Christmas Eve is sure to entertain you and your entire family. ESPECIALLY when Hank finds himself being cheered on by the entire town, but who IS that fat guy behind him? The fat guy in the red and white suit?
Buzzards with delusions of grander, mean-spirited town dogs hoping for a “turkey dinner”, a misanthropic ranch hand who, it turns out, has a heart of gold, a little boy close to the true meaning of Christmas, the dopey, ever-faithful Drover, and what-all Hank gets up to, all with jangly, twanging, rapid-strumming guitar music in the background, make this an audiobook not to be missed. John R. Erickson’s rollicking narration carries this into just 2+ hours of fun, mayhem and, ultimately, a fine Christmas listen!
