Dog The Bounty Hunter | Before They Were Famous | Duane Chapman Tragic Rise To Fame

Duane Lee Chapman, or, as the rest of us know him better -- Dog the
Bounty Hunter -- jumped on the fame train back in the early 2000s
after his exploits tracking down fugitives and bail-jumpers snagged
him his very own A&E television series. He single-handedly put
the TV show COPS out of business. Soon enough, “Dog the Bounty
Hunter” was a massive hit in TV ratings and he became a household
name as well as a super popular Halloween costume. With the long
blond hair, signature wraparound shades, and his gang of eccentric
family members no one could take their eyes off the man. But
there’s a lot more to Dog’s story, and honestly, most of it is
tragic. Jail-time, broken relationships, and the passing of not
one, but two children – Dog the Bounty Hunter has seen it all
through the years and lived to tell the tale.
