Considered the greatest bounty hunter in the world, Duane 'Dog' Chapman has made more than 6,000 captures in his 27-year career. This highly intense, charismatic ex-con and born-again Christian is the king of comebacks. This modern-day hero served time in a Texan prison. 'I am what rehabilitation stands for,' Dog says. Now on the right side of the law, Dog is tireless in his efforts to bring in the bad guys and encourage them to turn their lives around. 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 high-profile rapist and Maxfactor heir, Andrew Luster. Dog credits much of his success to his knack for getting the most out of his informants. 'Seventy percent of all my captures happen because some good ol' American has turned them in by giving me information,' He says. Raised in Denver, Dog is eldest of four children to Wesley and Barbara Chapman. His dad was a welder in the US Navy, while his mother was a Minister with the First Assembly of God who often travel Native American reservations to teach the gospel. Dog currently resides in Hawaii with wife, and business partner, Beth, and three of his children. To many Dog is more than just a bounty hunter. He is a source of inspiration. He is someone who has been on both sides and fought to make it into the light. Dog is the hero. He is the kind of hero who you don't see when you first look, but when you look at the person he is and the things he does, you see the hero that we have come to know and love as DOG!
