The Case of the Raging Rottweiler

The story begins with Hank and Drover spending the day at Slim Chance's bachelor cabin on the north side of the ranch. During their stay, an old buddy of Slim drives by for a visit, bringing a Rottweiler named Bruiser. Bruiser chases after a deer fawn, and Hank stops him from killing the fawn but in the process makes himself a new enemy. Once Bruiser's owner ties him up, Hank begins to insult the rottweiler. Later that night Hank and Drover are forced out of the house for goofing off. In a fit of rage, both decide to run away to the barn. On the way, they are confronted by Bruiser, and are made to sleep on the woodpile, while the rottweiler sleeps on the porch. The next day, Slim captures Bruiser and turns him over to his owner and then drives to the pastures to check on the cattle, taking Hank and Drover along. During this time, one of the tires on Slim's truck pops, and he drives into town to get it replaced. Later on, Hank and Drover are in a car-part shops when Bruiser attacks Hank, but then a large Siamese cat jumps on Bruiser, and Hank recalls to when he first met Bruiser, his owner said he was afraid of cats, the cat drives Bruiser away.
