Dog the Bounty Hunter

Dog The Bounty Hunter is a show about a family who lives and works together. They own and operate a bail bonding company called Da Kine (The Best) Bail Bonds in Hawaii. The show follows Duane "Dog" Chapman, his wife Beth, his son Leland, his nephew Justin and a close friend who he considers a brother, Tim Chapman (no relation). The main focus of the show is "The Posse" track customers who "skip" bail on them and must be captured and turned in to the police otherwise they do not collect their bond. When the customers "skip" on them, Dog and crew track down the "fugitives" and "bring them to justice" all while juggling a home and family life. The main reason I enjoyed the show is due to the fact that this show brings an up-close-and-personal view of what "bail enforcement agents" really have to do just to make ends meet and still try to live a normal suburbanite family life.

It's too bad that IMDb doesn't provide a whole lot of information because this show is really interesting (at least, I think it is). Basically, it's about a family of bail-bondsmen (and women) led by gruff, blue-collar (and intimidating) patriarch "Dog" Chapman. This is a literal family, mind you, where his son, brother, nephew and wife work alongside him to maintain his business. This is a man who comes from a very rough background to become a figure of redemption and responsibility for the state of Hawaii. The most interesting aspect, I believe, is watching the character study of someone who is very street-smart, unlike someone such as myself who comes from a very safe, middle-class upbringing and college eduction.

I just want to say to all those that badmouth Dog, you have to have something going wrong in your life. Who can look down on all the good that Dog and his crew are doing??They are not hurting anyone that doesn't deserve to go down. Dog, Beth, Leland and Tim you have my complete respect and admiration.You take the bad guys off the streets and try to make a better life for all....good guys and bad.If all the people in this world had the hearts that you guys do it would be a better place.all i can say is keep up the great work you are doing and know that there are plenty of fans that stand behind the great work you do and the great message you send to all.

I have watched this show and I applaud the actions of Dog and his team.I think it is great that Duane "Dog" Chapman involves his family in his business.Too many men are too busy trying to make a name for themselves and they leave their families on the sidelines forgetting that if it was not for their families support they would not be in the position that they are in.Dog does not forget that he respects and appreciates his family.The fact that he stepped up to the plate when it came to his son Leland and taught Leland the ropes really speaks volumes about what kind of a stand up person he really is.Not only that but Leland is one hot looking guy so what is not to love about the show.

When you come across "Dog the Bounty Hunter" on the television, the first thought that goes through your mind is, "these people just stepped out of Wrestle Mania 1985!". "Dog" Chapman is a bounty hunter in the Hawaiian Islands, and he, along with his family, hunts criminals that skip out on bail. The best part of this reality show is the personalities of the people involved in the hunt. Dog and his wife are the perfect match of eighties aqua net hair and biker duds; if you saw them on the street I promise you would stare. After the fugitives are caught, and often manhandled and maced by Dog and his cohorts, the Dog always attempts a heart to heart with them to convert his captures to a better way of life that won't lead them behind bars. Dog thinks it is his duty to try to help because, long ago, he once was a fugitive involved in killing a man in a drug deal gone wrong. Now he hunts those like he once was, trying to right his own past wrongs to society.
