Synopsis

Dog the Bounty Hunter was an American reality television series on A&E which chronicled Duane "Dog" Chapman's adventures as a fugitive recovery agent, or bounty hunter. With a few exceptions, the series took place in Hawaii or Dog's home state of Colorado. On May 21, 2012, A&E cancelled the series after eight seasons, citing the popular phrase: "Every dog has its day".

Chapman and Beth freely invited viewers into their lives, sharing personal stories about Chapman's 1976 imprisonment; his ex-wives and custody battles; While Chapman was serving his sentence, his first wife LaFonda filed for divorce, and married his best friend.

This, in addition to Chapmanâ€™s overall good behavior, led to him being paroled after only 18 months.

Inspired by his tackle, Chapman decided to pursue becoming a bounty hunter once released.

These songs are plugged at the end of each episode, following the closing credits.

Dog the Bounty Hunter captured an audience immediately by drawing viewers into the interaction of Chapman and his family/team, mixing street smarts, romance, arguments, teamwork, adrenaline-laced arrests and a philosophy of hope and second chances.

Viewers are taken along as Chapman and his family/team locate and arrest people who have broken the terms of their bail agreements.
