* CruelCoyotes: Lana encounters a pack of coyotes who have enhanced intelligence, with Hank's most recurring enemies are the leader being able to talk. They serve coyote tribe. In the Gaiaphage (the EldritchAbomination BigBad) original books they speak in a YouNoTakeCandle way (or at least this is Hank's interpretation), and kill many children in are known to routinely attack the FAYZ.ranch for its chickens. Their culture is portrayed as enjoying violence, getting drunk on silage, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking singing badly]]. The only exception is Missy Coyote, the ChiefsDaughter whom Hank helped when her head was stuck in a can, and aside from that visits the cowboy Slim when he feeds the cattle.

* CheesyMoon: The 5th Audio Only book discusses this trope from the perspective of two (unintelligent) dogs. Drover believes the moon can't really be made out of cheese because cheese sinks. [[InsaneTrollLogic Instead, the moon must be a giant oatmeal cookie because oatmeal floats]].

* BrickJoke: In "The Case of the Double-Bumblebee Sting", after having to endure Slim's trash dump of a pickup, Sally May stops at a fireworks store on the way back from the vet. At the end of the book, Slim starts his engine only for it to light some fire crackers (enough to startle him, but not enough to damage the pickup more than it already is).

** In ''Let Sleeping Dogs Lie'', Hank inexplicably thinks that Ralph's name is "Clyde". This is referenced in ''The Case of the Car-Barkaholic Dog'', where Ralph, just woken up, thinks ''Hank's'' name is Clyde.



* DisappearedDad: Hank's father never appears in the stories, but is mentioned in passing in ''Confessions of a Cowdog''. For a few other mother cats/dogs with children (such as Maggie, Gertie, or Drover's mother), the father is neither shown not mentioned.

* AuthorUsurpation: John R. Erickson has written many decently reviewed non-''Hank The Cowdog'' books (humorous autobiographical tales, other cowboy-focused nonfiction, the ''Riley [=McDaniels=]'' middle-grade mystery/adventure stories, and a [[RecycledInSpace cowboy version]] of ''Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh''), but relatively few of his fans have read or heard of them.
