Copper and the Midnight Stampede

When the skies turn dark and the herd runs wild, it takes courage, teamwork, and one determined ranch dog to bring everyone home safely.

Copper is no ordinary Australian Shepherd-he's a hardworking ranch dog who lives for helping his friends. After spending all day tracking a herd of cattle across the rugged Texas countryside, Copper, his speedy partner Zip, the dependable ranch horse Stitch, and the Boss finally begin the long trip home.

But Mother Nature has other plans.

As thunder rolls across the prairie and lightning splits the sky, frightened cattle stampede toward danger. With flash floods rising, trees crashing, and frightened cows running in every direction, Copper and Zip must rely on their instincts, training, and teamwork to turn the herd before disaster strikes.

Will they be able to stop the stampede and bring every hoof safely home?
