Dog the Bounty Hunter

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but that’s not the case with “Dog” Chapman. To his traditional bounty hunting tools of confidential informants, canvassing, and silver-tongued subterfuge the world’s greatest bounty hunter has added Facebook! A word to the wise for those on the run-post at your own peril, the Dog is watching!

Dog likes to say, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” and this is a hunt where that is true. So will Dog be able to use one family member’s troubled ways to catch another one in trouble with the law?

It takes years to become a seasoned bondsman, and the tenderfoot Alysin has a lot to learn. She not only bailed out a man facing charges of theft on just his promise to pay the fee but also without a co-signer for his bond. And sparks fly between Beth and Duane Lee when he questions Beth’s decision to go on the hunt with Dog leading the charge!

Two different young men; one has a taste for larceny, the other for strong sprits, both have a bad bad habit of missing their court dates. Looking over their files Dog senses that they have another trait in common, both are a little too tied to their mothers. Dog makes it part of his mission to offer some fatherly advice to these wanted men.

Dog is in Colorado helping a fellow bondsmen clean up his files. The target today has a history of violence, and apparently plans to re-locate without notifying the proper authorities. Unfortunately the team is missing a key player, Duane Lee is MIA today distracted by his new lady love.

Dog and Duane Lee can’t agree about what role Duane Lee should have in the family business, and the simmering tensions come to a head when Duane Lee is accused of denting Dog’s SUV. But the family comes together as they set out to hunt a chronic violator with an open warrant and a wife who has an odd request for Dog.

Dog has dropped Duane Lee from the team, and Leland is feeling caught in the middle. When Leland confronts Dog and Beth about the decision tempers flare. But they have to come together to answer a cry for help from a mother who feels that the safest place for her daughter is jail.

Cecily has graduated from High School and Dog believes the time is right to show her what the family business is all about. The rough and tumble world of bounty hunting is very different than the all girls private school she attended and Cecily is reluctant to hit the mean streets with Dog. But by days end a Chapman is a Chapman.

This one is close to home. Dog’s target on today’s hunt is the cousin of Kali, Garry Boy’s caregiver. In addition she has a reputation as a brawler. With Duane Lee still missing from the team Baby Lyssa decides she will step-up in this hunt.

In a last ditch attempt to bring the team back together, Dog recruits his pastor, Tim Storey, to be the peacemaker. As Dog begins his hunt for a young man who has trouble showing up at court, Tim has his own mission — convince Duane Lee to meet with him.

With Duane Lee back on the team, the rift in the Chapman clan appears over. But will time heal this wound or make it worse? As the family heads out for the seedier side of Honolulu in search of an erotic dancer, we will find out if the wound is truly healed.

When can a bounty hunt also be a date? When Dog and Beth decide to ride in the same SUV as they pursue a run away fugitive, will their different approaches to the investigation lead to a capture and romance?

When an alleged abuser goes on the lame Dog gathers the team to bring him in. As the leads grow colder Dog’s determination only grows stronger. Finally a hot lead comes in and Dog sets the trap for his prey.

Dog and company head to the Big Island in pursuit of two courthouse no-shows only to find that one of them appears to be posting status updates from Southern California. As Dog investigates the whereabouts of one missing lady, they head out in search of the other. Will luck be a lady for Dog or will the team be the ones busted?

Today’s case involves a Samoan so Dog knows that the runner’s close-knit kinfolk hold the keys to bringing him in. Dog’s plan is to convince family that everyone is best served if the fugitive mans-up and takes care of business. But when the crew raids the family’s home, voices are raised, temperatures flare, and Dog’s best-laid plan begins to resemble a hope and a pray.

Dog’s target for today was once an upstanding member of his community. Now with no home, no job and the law on his trail, this middle-aged exile from middle-class society is using the cold end of an ice pipe to soothe his troubled soul. But Dog also has new trouble brewing inside his own family — can he catch this fugitive and keep the team together?
