Duane 'Dog' Chapman is used to hunting down fugitives with a vengeance and putting those who deserve it behind bars.
He’s made over six thousand captures in his 27 year career and has been called the 'greatest bounty hunter in the world'. This charismatic ex-con and born-again Christian is undeniably the most famous and recognisable bounty hunter working today. His posse of bounty hunters includes both family members and friends.
Over the years, the list of fugitives Dog claims to have either helped catch or single-handedly brought to justice reads like a who's who of America's Most Wanted, including the fugitive rapist and Max Factor heir, Andrew Luster.
Much of Dog’s success is due to his knack of getting the most out of his informants. "Seventy percent of all my captures happen because some good ole American has turned them in by giving me information", says Dog, the spitting image of the maverick bounty hunter: stone-cold blue eyes, long unruly blond hair and weathered skin all wrapped in a skin-tight, sleeveless T-shirt, silver-capped boots, fight gloves and arm bands.
Ironically, a bondsman once handed Dog a puppy rather than cash. Raised in Denver, Dog is the oldest of four children born to Wesley and Barbara Chapman. His dad was a welder in the Navy, while his mother was a minister with the First Assembly of God, and often travelled to Native American reservations to teach the gospel. Duane 'Dog' Chapman resides with his wife and business partner Beth and three of his 12 children.
