He’s the heart of the ranch, and never shies away from an adventure, or a prank. Banjo, the three-legged dog, is the head wrangler of a Montana ranch. His different abilities don’t slow him down, one bit. He and his ranch crew work together, through thick and thin, to keep the ranch in tip top running order.
They spend their days working livestock, guarding the ranch and staying one paw ahead of Rascal, the mischievous masked bandit. From rescuing sheep stalked by coyotes, investigating the ruckus in Mrs. McBauck’s hen house, and rolling Rascal down a hill in a grain bin, Banjo’s ranch crew also learn to accept mistakes as forgivable lessons and recognize each animal’s value in their team because of their own unique skills and gifts.
Banjo and his crew learn life lessons that share the importance of family and friendship along the way. They have many adventures that showcase life on a working cattle and sheep ranch, humorous animal antics, encounters with predators, and exciting escapades across the countryside within each well-rounded tale.
