The farmer is kind and understanding and takes Rocky to his farm where Rocky meets a dog named Tootsie, a bulldog named Tank, and a wise cat named Leo.

Rocky struggles to make friends at first and when he plays a game of soccer with the other dogs, they all leave because of how much of a bully he is. Leo the cat steps in and helps Rocky to see the error of his ways so he can start to make friends and build relationships. The story culminates with a big soccer game between the cats and the dogs where Tank the bulldog runs over Leo the cat, injuring him. Rocky goes to tend to his friend Leo who is hurt pretty badly, but that decision infuriates Tank the bulldog. Tank is so angry and throwing a fit he does not see that the farmer is working in the field and is about to run over him, but in a wonderful twist of events, Leo the cat musters up enough energy to save Tank from a very bad situation.

The story ends with Rocky and his new friends walking off into the evening, knowing that they will not be bullies and stay friends forever!

As the author explains, the book’s underlying moral was a deliberate attempt to help both the victims of bullying, as well as those who may be bringing plight to others’ lives.

“Rocky at the Farm was written to entertain and educate children, about the problem of bullying,” says Hansen.

Continuing, “We want to get the message out there, that it's better to be a friend than to be a bully!”

Critics praise the book for its appeal to children and their families, as well as for its attempts to do good. With an extremely positive initial reception, Hansen now plans an entire series of books that focus on multiple facets of being a good person.

“We are a self-published book, but hope to include more stories as they come, with themes like respect, everybody's different, self-esteem, etc. We feel like this is a wonderful story that children and adults can read and enjoy. Feedback confirms this, so we plan many more releases in the future,” he adds.

While there’s much more to come from Rocky, the series’ first book is seeing growing demand. Due to this, interested readers are urged to purchase their copy of the book as soon as possible.
