Not since Boba Fett has there been a bounty hunter with such a huge fan base. But Duane “Dog” Chapman is no fictional Star Wars character. He’s a real guy in some real trouble and if his fans have anything to say about it, he’ll be a free man. Fans of Chapman have been voicing their outrage at the arrest of the Dog, his son Leland and fellow bounty hunter, Tim Chapman. A special aired Tuesday night on A&E, which told Dog’s side of the story, including the events surrounding the capture of serial rapist Andrew Luster, which lead to Dog’s arrest three years later.
As bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, Luster’s capture was considered unlawful. Supporters of Dog and what he and his family do are rallying together to do what they can to see that he is freed. Dog’s fansite, Dogthebountyhunter.com has a list of contact numbers, addresses and websites that people can use to contact the U.S. government as well as the Hawaiian government. They are also accepting donations for Dog’s legal fees.
Finally, there is an online petition requesting the US and Mexican government let Dog, Leland and Tim go. The effectiveness of online petitions is questionable but if there’s anything the people can do to get Dog out of the pen, his fans will find a way.
So where do you stand? The last news update we posted here at TV Blend got quite a mixed response. While many people were supportive of Dog, there were also some who believe his arrest was justified - The law’s the law and all that.

I LOVE THE SHOW AND HOW YOU ALL RE TRYING TO INPROVE THE COMMUNITY THANK_YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
I HOPE TO MEET THE CREW SOME DAY. YOUR GUYS SHOW HAS INFLUNCED ME IN MY DESSIONS, MY LIFE HAS NOT BEEN A WALK N THE PARK EITHER
Dog, everyone at some time or another says something that gets them in trouble. I've watched your show, and you need to keep up the good work. This will fade into the shadows soon. Its just another test for you to get through. Remember you will not be tested beyond what you can bear. I dont think your a racist, millions of others dont think your racist. Dr. Phil is a smart man, but he doesnt know as much as he thinks he does. He needs to stop speaking in circles, and get off his soapbox. I am relieved that the whole Mexico mess has been cleared up. Keep up the good work!!!!
I REALY LIKE WATCHING THE DOG EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT WHEN I GET HOME FROM WORK PLEASE DO NOT TAKE DOG OFF THE AIR IF YOU DO ME AND A LOT OF MY FRIENDS WILL STOP WATCHING A&E WE LOVE YOU DOG &BETH
Dog, we know your not a biggot, your a good guy, media sucks. We all say things we wish we didnt and do things. Thats what your show is about. Ya know whats sucks? A person can do a billion things for the better good sake and most people wont get recognized for that, but if that same person makes even one mistake, people are quick,..too quick to lynch. youll be allright, your good, your human, just cuz you got famous doesnt mean your not flawless. God bless you and your family. Forgivness is key.I wish I would learn that.

-If we had WET(white entertainment television) ...we'd be racist.
-If we had a White Pride Day... you would call us racist.

-Did you know that some high school students decided to make a club for only the white students because the other ethnicities had them. they all got sent to court for being racist but the african-american, Latino, and Asia clubs were not even questioned.
-You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
could you explain why a colored person can say the n word and it is all right or call a white person honkie but when we use the n word it is a different story and they wonder why there are racist out there
Hey Tim Hardy...
You ever ask yourself whats bad about this world? Its politics in every sense of the word. It should be in the dictionary under "greed", everything stems from greed. I don't need to go into examples here.
I mentioned before, that this bounty hunter curses and uses god's name in vain, yet he prays?
This racist issue just proves my point even more.
Did you know the C******* Church is the richest church in the world. If these people follow the way of the holy book, there wouldn't be starving people in the world. You know, J**** asks that you give the extra that you have. I think religion is another term for greed as well... Remember its free to spread the good word of the Lord, every person can do that, without donating to a bank account.

Dog, Tim, Leland and Beth and all the Chapman family,i am from ediinburgh in scotland uk, and i think what mexico is doing is wrong, you help to put away a rapist, a rapist who raped over 87 wonman for f**ck sake, i wish you all the best and all the good luck in the world, you have a fan base right across the world fight in ur corrner with u. and i am one of them, dog you keep ur head up hight coz u did nothing wrong you are a hero, now you get bk out there and put more f**ker in the slamer where they belong, alot of love lindy knight
Dog, Beth, Tim, Leland I love to see you take the bad off the street I wish we ones in had people like that in Alabama . The cops here really suck and so does the ones in Tenneessee . I was raped at 14 and the guy was only in jail for a year he pulled a knife on me and raped me and only got a year . But anyways I really loved your show . Well wish yall the best .
Dog, Tim, Leland and Beth and all the Chapman family, my heart and my prayers are with you. You give your LIVES to protect the good and put away the bad so the good will be safe. I do not understand why the US government does not stand up for their american people. I thinks its about time that they do something right.
Dog, Tim and Leland have faith because their is alot of people praying for you guys because your very much loved.
Beth my heart goes out to you it must be so hard for you, be strong.
My prayers are with you Dog, Tim, Leland and the whole Chapman Family.
Take a look at this picture and tell whats wrong: a rapist, who could have turned to murder or maybe had already? is captured after our lovely country let him free until he was sentenced knowing he had the money to flee, however it took the Dog and his crew to locate & capture. As said before our gov. accepted & convicted him so that would mean the US assisted the Chapmans in this so called crime.
And for Brian,Steve
Unless you are the All Mighty , I do not believe you have the power to tell what is in someones heart but your own. Only 2 know that (the Dog & his maker) It sounds like you need to be doing some soul searching. Ask and you shall be forgiven as the Dog knows.
God Bless the Chapmans
dear chapman family,
i honestly think this is a whole bunch of bs if you ask me, i believe you guys did the right thing in bringing lester down... i myself am a concerned mother, i think of it this way, what if that was my daughter?????? i would have done the same thing and i am pretty sure thats the way the dog family was thinking!!!!!!!!!!! so i think the guys should have this case dropped and exponged off their record......And beth you are strong and brave for what u did to get them out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think that john who said dog should get the shit beat out of him so get killed and head choped off.i think what dog did was great and we all know that he did the right thing.yea he might get sent away for a little bit but all that matter is that he got the bad guy off the streets.we all pray for u dog
Beth, Dog, Tim, Leland,
I think what u all did should be thought as heroism. Taking that mad man off the streets of Mexico and bringing him to justice in America is complete HEROISM!!! And these charges brought against Dog, Tim and Leland are completely unheard of. As mentioned before and are illegal. So Ms. Rice stand up for our MEN. Cuz they would STAND UP for U!!!!
hey dog thanks to you guys a bad man has been taken off the streets. i thank you and your crew to take luster off the streets because he hurt a lady and i felt so sorry for the family trus t me i have been there i lost my step sister 7 years ago tonight she was raped and murdered! hey dog you and the crew are the most awesome crew that was ever put together. god bless you and your family stay strong. Mrs Kimberly King Lamesa California 91941 sandiego california. !!!!!!!
ps don't forge my birthday night February 10th god bless AND TAKE CARE AND STAY STRONG!
what the mexican goverment is doing is wrong and america know's it. i stand behind dog,leland,tim in thier decision to get luster when know other's including the american goverment had the balls to get him. dog and his team had the nerve to go after him even tho it was illegal. i think any True american would do the same. GOD BLESS THE CHAPMAN FAMILY AND THANK YOU. ALOHA
Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman, his son Leland, and his brother Tim were all arrested in Hawaii by federal marshals at the request of Mexico. Their crime? The “across the border” capture of Andrew Luster, a notorious rapist who is currently serving 124 years in a California prison. Instead of giving them each a medal, the government of Mexico wants to lock them up. How is that for gratitude? Well No Way, Jose', it ain't going to happen!
They say bounty hunting is technically illegal in Mexico, but of course it is not illegal the United States. And in order for an extradition to be legal, the act in question must be illegal in BOTH countries, which is not the case here. The US government are 100% wrong to even consider this fraudulent extradition request and frankly they need to be told to shove it sideways! Since they ignore average Americans, the goverment needs to tell them that this extradition request is completely denied as the trash that it is! When they decide to get their illegals the hell out of here, and stop harboring and defending rapists and murderers, then please let us know! In the meanwhile, go to hell! You can't take our heroes! This whole thing is unconstitutional!
Want more proof? Just ask Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado. He is presently spearheading an effort to stop this gross travesty of justice in its tracks, and he can fill you in on the details. As long as you are at it, you may as well contact Condoleezza Rice and remind her that she works for the people of the United States, not Mexico!!
Need I also remind you all that handing American citizens over to a third world nation to face a kangaroo court is not only immoral but it is downright un-American? Now is the opportunity to stand up and fight for simple, common decency.
If this is allowed to happen and they get away with it, which one of us will be next??
Dog,TIm Leland you all rock .thanks for getting that rapist off the street there ought to be more men like yous.i love yous and will keep praying for yous keep up the good work.
As a rape survivor I applaud what the Chapmans did in capturing a man convicted of 87 counts of rape. I'm sure the many victims of this man's sick behavior are thankful that he's locked up for the rest of his life.
As to the 'illegal' behavior of Dog Chapman, let's set a few things straight. He was never charged or found guilty of murder as Brian has claimed. Yes, he was involved with a bad crowd and did some bad things, the worst being an accessory to murder by driving the car the murderer rode in on the way to commit the crime. Yes, he served two years in prison for his part in this crime.
More importantly, he turned his life around as a result of this incident. Brian claims that this is bull. How would he know--is he a mindreader? Can he see into the heart of another man and know his true thoughts? Of course not! To determine if Dog truly made a serious change is his life we can only observe his actions after he was released from prison. His actions have shown him to be a loving father, devoted family man, and a hard working bounty hunter.
Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico. Dog has been charged with misdemeanor offenses. Yes, Mexico is calling it Kidnapping because they don't allow Bounty Hunting. Would this be Kidnapping in the US? No. Mexico calls it Illegal Detaining because they don't allow Bounty Hunting. Would this be Illegal Detaining in the US? No. Did Dog 'jump bail?' Depends on how you look at the situation. The first Mexican judge indicated, this is from official news sources, that the entire situation was a misunderstanding and that Dog was free to go. He is not a resident of Mexico--he lives in Hawaii--so he returned home. He did not flee, or hide or become a fugitive. Everyone who owns a TV, and watches A&E, knew where to find him.
I am shocked that our government would actively particate in this event. Mexico wants to extradite Dog for misdemeanor charges? The Federal Marshalls broke into his home to arrest him on misdemeanor charges? Misdemeanor charges usually involve a fine and nothing more. Why is this case worth an extradition for trial?
Where was our government when Luster was crossing the border into Mexico? What was the Mexican government doing when they let Luster into Mexico?
