Duane "Dog" Chapman, the man behind the popular show "Dog The Bounty Hunter" is frantic to avoid becoming the kind of person he's known for catching. Usually he's the one dragging people to justice but now the Mexican government wants him, his son Leland and another of their associates extradited on charges of illegal activity. The big Dog is prepared to do whatever he has to do to keep it from happening, even apologizing. It sounds like the kind of desparate tactic his bounties attempt as he's hauling them away.

Would "Dog" take begging in exchange for letting one of his captures go? Doubtful. But that's what he's hoping for in his own case. Three years ago the three men travelled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and captured Andrew Luster, the convicted rapist and heir to the Max Factor fortune. What they failed to research was the fact that bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico. They were arrested in Mexico, posted a paltry $1,300 bail, and returned to the U.S., thinking nothing more about it. They might have forgotten, but Mexico hadn't.

Last week the three were picked up by American authorities last week and re-posted bail, this time to the tune of $500,000. According to a report from the AP, Dog is willing to forfeit the bail paid in Mexico, apologize for everything except capturing Luster (which ironically is why he's in trouble in the first place), and even make a generous charitable contribution . What's he trying to do, give them grounds for a bribery charge too?

If Chapman and his boys are extradited and found guilty, they could face fines and jail time up to four years. The U.S. Attorney's Office doesn't have to decide what to do until October 16. Until then, Dog's attorneys are doing everything they can to make a case for denying extradition. If there were ever a time for someone in Mexico to want to make a name for themselves as a bounty hunter, this could be their chance. I hear Univision is looking to expand into reality TV. I imagine the guy who brings Dog to justice in Mexico might land a TV show of his own.
