His father, Wesley, was a welder in the U.S. Navy and his mother, Barbara, was a minister with the First Assembly of God, who traveled to Native American reservations to teach the gospel. His father was physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive which caused Dog to act out. Dog moved to Hawaii after speaking at a seminar in 1989. He currently lives in Hawaii with his wife Beth, sons Tucker (out on parole) and Garry, daughters Lyssa, Ciecly and Bonnie Jo, and grandchildren Travis (Barbara Katie’s son) and Abbie (Lyssa’s daughter).
Prison: He was arrested eighteen times for armed robbery. While serving a five year term for accessory to first degree murder in Texas, Dog was cutting the warren’s hair when an inmate tried to escape. He caught the runner after convincing the guards to put their weapons down. Later when he appeared before the judge he was offered his first bounty job, which he accepted because he needed the money to pay back child support.
Career: Dog, the greatest bounty hunter in the world, has been in the bail bonding business for more than 27 years and credits his success to his knack for getting information out of his informants. The list of fugitives he has participated in capturing and bringing to justice reads like a ‘Who’s Who of America’s Most Wanted.’ Dog and posse use the new art of NBP, neurological visual profiling, which is sensing or feeling when predators are present. He and Beth currently own and run Da Kine Bail Bonds in Honolulu, Maui, and Denver.

They then moved in with their mother and her new husband, Keith (the only ‘father’ Tim liked) to Hawthorn, California. She slipped up and was found wandering the streets in her night gown on drugs. The boys went back to their paternal grandparents for six years, when their father and his new wife, Bev, took custody. Besides the Tim and Russ, Ron and Bev had a new baby and she had two girls from a previous marriage. All was good for about a year when the beating started. Ron began beating the boys and raping the girls. The school ignored the bruises, black eyes, food deprivation, and broken bones. Their mother’s attempts to get the boys back were hidden from them and the boys were beaten worse when they tried to run away. They lived in fear until Tim was 13, when he ran away for good after the children were forced to stand naked in line and take repeated blows. Tim, with a broken nose and overall broken, contacted his mother who took them in. The worst thing for him was leaving his sisters behind. He lived with his mom and new husband for the next few years. He also lived with his maternal grandparents, who were bail bondsmen. One of his step-sisters is a crack addict and the other is a prostitute with two kids. His father repeatedly picked her up and also raped her children. Tim’s father is currently in prison for pedophilia thanks to Tim, the granddaughters and stepmother. He hopes to open/start a foundation that helps at-risk children change their lives.

Dog made him burn all of his clothing and music in a bonfire on the front lawn. Together they went to his school and Dog forced all the gang-kids Leland was hanging out with to turn their shirts inside out. Dog then took Leland to K-Mart to buy new clothes. He also made sure that Leland graduated from high school. When Leland was 17 he began to train for professional boxing, kickboxing, and extreme fighting.
