[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17381"] Don’t know how many of you are familiar with the “Hank the Cowdog” series. I never could find time for the books but the tapes make for some pretty good entertainment going down the road. Hank is a cowdog on a ranch in the panhandle. His self-appointed title is “Head of Ranch Security.” He’s a campy cornball but he’s funny, IMO. You can tell the guy who wrote those stories has been around cattle and horses. One of the best is “The Case of the Hooking Bull” or something like that. If somebody is relatively new to cattle, one thing to keep in mind is that a dog (that’s not used to cattle) can sure get you hurt. The dog will be messing around near you and it’s real easy to get caught up in a situation where the cow is making a run at the dog and you happen to be in the wrong place. It’s easy for kids to get hurt that way. We don’t keep cow dogs but I’ve often thought about it. Whether you’re hunting over dogs or working cattle with dogs it’s a true pleasure to watch them. They have twice as much fun as any human present and can be amazingly effective. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
