Dog the Bounty Hunter: New Season, a Lawsuit and a Feud

* Dog the Bounty Hunter Prepares for New Season

* Actor Sues DTBH Producers

* Dog to Battle on Celebrity Family Fued



It's time to check in on Duane Chapman and Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Less than a month until New Dog the Bounty Hunter

The new shows debut on Wednesday, July 16 on A & E Network.

Dog the Bounty Hunter,” a reality TV series that follows the unruly activities of Duane “Dog” Chapman, is returning to the air after its indefinite cancellation last November. Fans will be able to hear the beloved strains of “I’ll hunt you down, cause I‘m the dog” when the show continues with a brand new series on Wednesday, July 16.


The show, which is aired on the A&E network, chronicles the life of bounty hunter and bondsman Chapman who resides in Honolulu. Events of previous episodes have included his work in tracking and capturing bail jumpers and occurrences in his family relationships.

July 16 can't come soon enough for the legion of Dog fans.




DTBH Producers Sued by Actor

A Russian-born actor, Boris Krutonog, who says he created Dog the Bounty Hunter, has sued the show's producers for at least $5 million. Krutonog claims that he's owed compensation for royalties, salary and other considerations.

Krutonog also complains in court papers that he was the target of "abusive, violent and outrageous conduct" and "episodes of psychotic behavior by" the show's stars, Duane "Dog" Chapman and his wife Beth. Court papers say that he introduced himself to "Dog" Chapman in 1995. Believing that Chapman's colorful life and exploits could be the basis of a movie or a TV show, Krutonog signed contracts with Chapman and received the exclusive right to develop the program. Between 1995 and 2003, Krutonog alleges that he developed what became Dog the Bounty Hunter. The papers noted that A&E agreed to pay him as co-executive producer "for the life of the program" in order to obtain Krutonog’s consent to produce and air the show.

TV Dog Feuds on TV for Charity

Dog and members of his family will match up with Cathy Lee Gifford on Celebrity Family Feud for charity.

As fans well know, DTBH was pulled from A&E's lineup last November after a private cellphone conversation was sold by his son to the National Enquirer. The Enquirer released the tape which contained racial slurs.

In May, A&E announced that the show would return, with assurances that Chapman had taken the necessary efforts in receiving forgiveness from those who had been affected by his racist comments. A statement from the network explained, “Since the premise of Dog the Bounty Hunter is about second chances, we have decided to give him one.”

Before the show's suspension, the program was the network’s highest rated series.

Looks like Duane Chapman is making the most of his second chance, which for fans and Chapman alike, begins on July 16

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Dog's Son, Tucker Chapman Back in the Slammer

"Instant Karma's gonna get you."
--John Lennon song

DBKP has just learned that Tucker Chapman, the son of Duane "Dog" Chapman who, many contend, sold out his TV star father, has been arrested for violating multiple terms of his parole.

Drugs and associating with know felons are reportedly the causes for his return to the slammer. An earlier mention of blackmail could not be substantiated at this time.

Tucker Chapman sold the tape to the National Enquirer of his father uttering a racial slur during a perceived private phone conversation.

"Dog the Bounty Hunter" was pulled from the A & E Networks line-up, the show suspended, and in the aftermath, many of the shows fans were none too happy with Tucker Chapman and his girlfriend, Monique Shinnery.

A spokeswoman for the Bounty Hunter and his family this morning confirmed the arrest, which was first reported by TMZ. The TMZ report said Tucker Chapman is at the Oahu Community Correctional Center.

Mona Wood, spokeswoman for Duane and Beth Chapman, said the couple is currently in Los Angeles and will return to Honolulu this week and are not planning further interviews.

Duane Chapman said after he learned that his own son sold the taped conversation to the Enquirer, that "he still loved his son."

Excerpts from TMZ report about Tucker Chapman follow:

Here's what went down: Our sources say two weeks after the tape surfaced, Dog learned Tucker was using drugs and threatened to expose him to his parole officer. Then the tape dropped -- interesting timing.

After that, we're told, a parole officer made Tucker check in to a rehab facility, which, we hear, Tucker walked away from.

Sources tell us Tucker's parole officer executed a surprise home inspection this week, and didn't like what he found. The PO then brought Tucker in on Friday, revoked his parole and sent him to the slammer. Among his alleged violations -- associating with known felons, failing a drug test and walking away from a rehab facility.

TMZ also released a statement it said received from Dog Chapman: "I am heartbroken that this has occurred, but I am relieved that my son in now in a place where he can no longer hurt himself. To my bruddahs in the system: please don't hurt my son as he knows not what he does. I love my son and wish him the best."

Last week, A & E announced that the popular "Dog the Bounty Hunter" was back in production and new episodes would be airing later this year.

The Bounty Hunter has been about second chances and he was ready for his. Production was supposed to restart this week, according to TMZ.

So, "Dog the Bounty Hunter" is back in production.

And, Tucker Chapman is back in jail.

And that's as it should be, according to many fans of the TV reality series.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Persistence and Contrition Pays Off For TV's Bounty Hunter

Big Ratings also Didn't Hurt
"Dog the Bounty Hunter's" Return Official



Dog the Bounty Hunter fans can now start their celebrations.

It's now official: Dog the Bounty Hunter is coming back to the A & E TV line-up.

An A&E spokesman confirmed yesterday the resumption of the show's production immediately, though no date yet has been set for the show's new premiere.

KHNL TV in Honolulu stated that Beth Chapman confirmed to KHNL Tuesday morning that the show would resume production immediately.

Persistence and a showing of public remorse, along with a charity outreach to black groups, made a difference.

So did the actions of thousands of "Dog the Bounty Hunter" fans.

And the show's formerly big ratings on A&E Network didn't hurt, either.



ALSO: Dog the Bounty Hunter: The Dog is Back!

The public acts of remorse and contrition are over and a new journey that starts for the star of any TV show looms: to lure back enough former viewers to keep the show at the top of A&E's ratings line-up.

The announcement marked the latest step on a 3+ month journey of redemption and contrition for Duane "Dog" Chapman. Since the furor broke with the National Enquirer's publishing of the audio tapes of Chapman's heated exchange with son, Tucker, over his girlfriend during a private cell-phone conversation.

Get the whole story! DBKP DOG the BOUNTY Library of stories and videos on Dog the Bounty Hunter and his struggles since November 1, 2007. Over 40 stories and videos on Duane "Dog" Chapman and his family.

Fans of "Dog the Bounty Hunter" were first shocked, then angry and defensive about the suspension of their favorite TV reality show.

Eventually, fans went on the offensive, and a plethora of petitions sprung up around the web. Letter-writing campaigns and boycotts were also organized against everything from A&E Network's remaining line-up to the show's former sponsors.

One campaign even advised fans to send 1000s of pineapples to A&E's NY Headquarters in protest of the show's removal.

The news from around the web is almost universally cheerful at the return of the reality show, "Dog the Bounty Hunter", and it's star, Duane "Dog" Chapman. The show, which stars Chapman, as well as his wife, Beth, partner, Tim Chapman, son, Leland Chapman, and various other members of Duane Chapman's extended family.

Here's a round-up of what others are saying on Tuesday morning, February 20, 2008.

REUTERS:

Celebrity bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman is set to return to television after his reality TV show was pulled from the air three months ago in a controversy over his use of a racial slur, cable channel A&E said on Tuesday.

An A&E spokesman said the network had decided to start production again of "Dog The Bounty Hunter" but no airdate has yet been scheduled.

"Over the last few months, Duane "Dog" Chapman has taken and continues to take the appropriate steps in reaching out to several African American organizations in an effort to make amends for his private comments to his son which were released publicly," said a statement from the network.

"Since the premise of "Dog The Bounty Hunter" is about second chances - we have decided to give him one."

E! ONLINE:

"We take this matter very seriously," A&E said in a statement at the time of the show's production suspension. "Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action."

A&E, which removed Dog the Bounty Hunter info from its Website just after New Year's, has not yet set a date for the show's return, but a camera crew is reportedly in place, and lodging and cars have been rented for a fifth season.

CANADA NOW:

The network, A&E, has yet to set an official premiere date for Dog The Bounty Hunter, but it has been confirmed that he is coming back.

Production is set to start as soon as possible, as everything is just about set to go.

MONSTERS and CRITICS:

A&E are satisfied that Dog made ammends, and claim they are happy he reached out to the African American community.

HOLLYSCOOP:

The Dog will hunt again. A&E has confirmed that production has begun on the next season of Dog the Bounty Hunter in Hawaii. Guess A&E isn't worried about [Chapman's Enquirer-published comments], because their main man is back. That show did make a ton of money, and I can't imagine marathons of that show Intervention are keeping the ratings high. Congrats Dog! Now just keep your mouth shut.

A week ago, it was announced that the Dog the Bounty Hunter star would be making a charity appearance in Chicago in April.

The star of the Dog the Bounty Hunter is set to perform at Mooseheart Child City and School in Chicago, Illinois on April 11 and April 12. He'll be in concert with bands such as Echoing Angels, Emery, Inhabited, Flatfoot 56, and Will Duvall for two very different nights.

More importantly, Chapman will speak for 45 minutes from his heart about his life, tragedies, triumphs, and faith. Tagging along is his wife Beth Chapman, who also appears on the reality series Dog the Bounty Hunter. This meet and greet event also encourages spectators come with an open mind, and leave with a changed heart.

A former gang member with 18 prior convictions for armed robbery, Chapman was sentenced to five years in a Texas prison in 1977 after being convicted of the first degree murder of Jeremy Oliver. Chapman maintained his innocence of murder but was considered as a legal accessory for not reporting the shooting to the police. He was released on probation after 18 months. Eventually, he became a bail bondsman and bounty hunter, which is also the focus of the reality series Dog the Bounty Hunter.

As of Wednesday morning, no announcement was on the A&E Network's website yet. This was the latest story on the Dog the Bounty Hunter News Updates.
A&E Network:

January 30th, 2008: Duane "Dog" Chapman is officially free from his Mexican legal ordeal. A three-judge panel in Mexico unanimously ruled on Tuesday, January 29th, that the criminal charges against Dog, his son, Leland Chapman, and his close friend, Tim Chapman, must be dismissed; they cannot be extradited to Mexico to face criminal charges for their 2003 capture of serial rapist and fugitive Andrew Luster.

Andrew Luster, the famed heir to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune, had been convicted of drugging and raping three women over a four year span. During his trial in 2003, Luster fled the country, leading to an international manhunt. In June 2003, Dog and his team tracked the fugitive Luster in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he was living under an alias, and seized him. Luster was handed over to the United States government by Mexican officials. He was subsequently found guilty and is currently serving a 124 year prison sentence.

However, as Mexican law does not permit private individuals to engage in bounty hunting on their own, Dog, Tim and Leland were arrested by the Mexican authorities, but were later released and they returned to the United States. In February 2007, US Marshals took all three men into custody on an extradition warrant stemming from the 2003 charges. The extradition warrant was dismissed in 2007 and the the criminal charges in Mexico have also now been dismissed.

A&E did have this in "About the Show", which is undated.

Last year was the Chinese calendar's Year of the Dog – and Duane "Dog" Chapman – the world's most famous bounty hunter - had enough drama to last him two lifetimes. Now, staring adversity in the face with his own freedom hanging in the balance, Dog is coming back with a vengeance to hunt down fugitives with his wife Beth and fearless Posse.

This year the Posse is back in action once again hitting the streets, tracking down fugitives, and giving them that one-of-a-kind dose of tough love only Dog can provide. In addition to Tim, Leland, and Duane Lee this year Baby Lyssa, Dog's daughter, joins the Posse full time.

With the threat of Mexican justice hanging over their heads, the stakes are higher than ever for Dog & the Posse; but the Chapmans are sticking together to get the job done – both on the streets and in the courts. As Dog says, "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger."

And that's that.

Check back. We'll update regularly as more details are released about the show's return.

But for now, let the fan celebrations begin.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: The Dog is Back

"You can Run
--But you can't hide"



"You can run, but you can't hide" will be heard again.

On TV.

The Dog is Back.

A & E is bringing back the Dog.

An A&E official has told website TMZ that his show "Dog the Bounty Hunter" is going back into production.

Beth Chapman has confirmed it to KHNL this morning.

A network official confirms to TMZ that the show is going back into production, but they've not yet set a premiere date. As of now, they're gearing up -- big time -- in Hawaii and production will begin ASAP. Makeup artists and camera crews have been hired, and houses and cars have been rented, all for the return of the show.

A&E had suspended production of the "Dog the Bounty Hunter" indefinitely last fall after a recording surfaced that featured Chapman making racial slurs during a private cellphone conversation with his son.

His son, Tucker, later sold the tape to the National Enquirer for a reported $15000 payment.

Chapman immediately began a tour of forgiveness, working with CORE and other groups to promote racial equality. We're told network execs were "very pleased" with Dog's attempt to make amends and his reaching out to members of the African American community.

A&E isn't just making this decision out of the goodness of their hearts either. The show was insanely popular for the network, here and internationally -- airing in over 20 countries.

Fans of the Dog can now at least get ready to celebrate the show's return.
From Fox:

The National Enquirer posted an audio clip of Chapman using a slur repeatedly in reference to his son's black girlfriend.

Chapman apologized and vowed never to utter the word again. He has met with several black leaders over the past several months.

UPDATE: 6:50 pm Tuesday February 19, 2008
Beth Chapman confirmed the show's return to production to TV station KHNL this morning.

Beth Chapman confirmed the news to KHNL Tuesday morning. She said A&E has not set a premiere date yet. But for now, the Chapmans are gearing up in Hawaii for production.

A premiere date has not been set, but cars and houses have been rented, and camera crews and makeup artists have been hired, according to the report.

We'll have more on the developments in the next hours as we start calling some people.

Stay tuned.

The Dog is back.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Buck Naked Bounty Hunter

Naked--but wet--in Honolulu

Tim Chapman Buck Naked troubles: innocent changing of juiced clothing, or lewd act?

You decide.

Tim, a sidekick of TV bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman, turned himself in to authorities Friday after a shopping center security guard reported seeing him naked in his pickup truck, performing a lewd act, police said.

But Tim Chapman's lawyer insists his client spilled juice on himself and was just changing clothes Thursday night.

Tim Chapman and the security guard obviously didn't see eye-to-eye about the event.

In fact, Chapman, according to the guard, tried to get "up close and personal" with him--with his truck.

The guard told Chapman to put on his clothes and get out of the truck, police said. After dressing, Chapman started his truck and drove over a sidewalk, nearly hitting the guard, then drove off, police said.

Fame has its benefits.

And its drawbacks.

The guard told police that "he recognized Chapman from Duane Chapman's show "Dog the Bounty Hunter" and that he was performing an unspecified lewd act."

The story goes on to state that Duane Chapman and Tim Chapman are not related.

That was buried in the sixth or seventh paragraph.

Three Male Chapmans--all fully clothed--with Beth

Tim Chapman's attorney, Brook Hart, came to the rescue--as attorneys are wont to do--and said it was all a misunderstanding.

"It was simply a man who wet his pants with orange juice inadvertently and was changing them, doing nothing wrong at all and believing he had sufficient privacy to do it," Hart said.

Police said they were still investigating the matter. There's no word on whether they plan to charge Chapman, 42.

Several questions leaped to mind after reading this.

Was Tim Chapman alone?

What was the lewd act?

Does it matter if you're in the privacy of your own pick-up truck?

What attracted the security guard's attention?

Meanwhile, life goes on for the millions of "Dog the Bounty Hunter" fans who face another day without their favorite show.

As one person put it, "Maybe the security guard will investigate that one".

Don't hold your breath.

Da Kine, in da Sunshine

We realize that Tim Chapman is accused of almost running over someone.

But it was only a security guard, after all.

UPDATE: 8 am - Attempted Murder? From Private Officer: One of the stars of the reality TV show “Dog the Bounty Hunter” was arrested today on suspicion of attempted murder and indecent exposure. and also: Police checked Tim Chapman’s Hawaii Kai home, but were told he’s separated from his wife and has been living out of his truck. Then around 2:30 this afternoon, Tim Chapman turned himself in to Honolulu police.Chapman’s attorney Brook Hart says it’s all a misunderstanding. “Tim Chapman was driving in the Ala Moana, Kapioplani Blvd. area when he inadvertently spilled some orange juice, orange drink or liquid in his lap, and he got all wet so looked for a place for some privacy,” said Brook Hart, Tim Chapman’s attorney.Hart says Tim Chapman was not performing lewd acts.”He was merely changing from one pants to another when a security guard came and yelled at him to get out of his car. Tim panicked and drove over the curb and left the area,” said Hart.Tim Chapman was booked on suspicion of indecent exposure, and attempted murder for nearly running over the security guard. Although, police say he may be charged with terroristic threatening instead. Tim Chapman remains at the Honolulu Police Department’s main cell block tonight, pending charges. Nothing at this time on the attempted murder charge anywhere else but this one source. Source: Private Officer - Breaking News

A little Christmas wish from everybody at DBKP to all the many fans who've read our stories, sent us interesting emails or left passionate comments.

In case you've noticed the lack of Dog stories the last couple of days (if you don't include yesterday's story of DBKP being labeled "White Supremacists" for our comments), don't fret.

As someone in the Dog's camp commented earlier this week, "Let everyone concentrate on the holidays. Let the Chapmans concentrate on the holidays, too."

Amen.

Unless a comet strikes the Da Kine Bail Bonds building during the next 10 days, we're gonna honor that wish.

We wish the Chapmans, their many fans and all the good folks who've followed their exploits here a very "Merry Christmas!"

We also wish everyone "Peace" throughout the upcoming year.

"More Fake Liberal Outrage:
The Rehabilitation of Duane "Dog" Chapman"

Political Party Poop's Snoop offers "Ellen" some breakfast


DBKP asks Political Party Poop's Snoop for his opinion on Newshounds' Ellen dissing CORE's Roy Innis over Dog the Bounty Hunter's Duane Chapman.

Boy, did he give us his opinion!

INTRO: Duane "Dog" Chapman, Dog of TV's Dog the Bounty Hunter, had his phone conversation with a son taped and sold to the National Enquirer. During the conversation, Chapman repeatedly used a racial slur. Arts and Entertainment Network then pulled the show from its line-up.

In the intervening weeks, a chastised Chapman has sought out civil rights leaders, black charity groups and others in continuing effort to not only rehabilitate his image, but also to honestly change, what he's called "hurtful" behavior and words with which he heard and used while he was a youth.

DBKP has written of the Dog's journey and his attempts to make amends for using, again what he called, "words that hurt".
* Civil Rights Pioneer To Mentor Dog
* Black Group BOND to Sponsor Toy Giveaway, Dog
* Dog the Bounty Hunter Gives Under-Privileged Kids $26,000 of Toys
* Rumors Rumble about Dog's Return

After Roy Innis, national chairman of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) announced last week that he and others at CORE had met with Chapman and agreed to help mentor Dog, an article appeared at a website called "Newshounds".

An appearance with Sean Hannity, on Fox's Hannity & Colmes, the other night, ignited a reliable source of renewable energy: fake white liberal outrage. Hence, the Newhounds' article.

In the article, the author--"Ellen"--takes Roy Innis, a man who has battled police brutality and has lost 2 sons to criminal gun violence, to task for talking to the Dog. She also rakes Sean Hannity for "racism" or sympathizing with racists, or something.

White Supremacist Sympathizer Sean Hannity Helps Duane "Dog" Chapman Rehabilitate His Racist Image offered that "Hannity was helped out in that regard by the dubious “civil rights pioneer” Roy Innis and his son, Niger."

Interesting.

Ellen provides many services at "Newshounds". In the above article, she offers her opinion of Roy Innis,a man who battled real racist from the time he joined CORE's Harlem chapter in 1963.

That was almost 44 years ago, in which time, Innis tackled the NY state public school authorities to provide equality of funding for black schoolchildren in Harlem, as well as taking on the NYPD over the issue of police brutality.

Against this 44 years of toiling in the trenches for CORE and its causes, we place the words of "Ellen", of Newshounds.

We're not sure what "Ellen" has been doing the last 44 years. Who knows? Maybe she was battling the NYPD also. Maybe she was riding in buses meant only for whites.

Oh, sorry, Ellen.

Ellen offers another service besides her critique of black civil rights leaders.

She offers the service of "Watching Fox News, so you don't have to". That's the slogan at "Newshounds". Ellen watches, then ostensibly tells her readers what Fox News said, saving her readers the valuable time they may have spent thinking for themselves.

A third valuable service is provided by "Ellen". That service is the dispensing of faux white liberal moral outrage.

When we read her "outrage" at 'Newshounds' we were wondering what our friend Snoop, who runs Political Party Poop, thought. So we asked Snoop to take a look at Ellen's piece and let us know what he thought of it.

Now, anyone who has read PPP knows that asking Snoop his opinion is a somewhat risky thing, because when you ask, Snoop will tell you what he thinks.

You might not like what he says.

But we asked him and he agreed. When we first read what he'd written, we sat, transfixed by his analysis of Ellen's "outrage" at her targeted band of racists: Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman, Roy Innis and Sean Hannity.

This intro is a lot longer than we had planned, but Snoop's piece is powerful stuff.

Below are selected portions of Snoop's thoughts on Fake White Liberal Outrage. You'll have to head over to PPP and read the entire piece. We're gonna clue you in: you'll be glad you did.

Political Party Poop More Fake Liberal Outrage: The Rehabilitation of Duane "Dog" Chapman [excerpts] "The individual who hammered out this shining example of fake white liberal outrage, after posting this particular story, I bet felt vindicated in some way; proud and believing that by her shining a light on the disgraceful racist Dog Chapman and his racist support network (comprised of Sean Hannity and Roy Innis) we would no longer be fooled by the notion that this hateful racist can be rehabilitated and in particular that we would remain angry at the professional racist Hannity who provides safe sanctuary to racists everywhere. After all, she is sure that those of us on the right, and particularly networks like Fox, promote racist values." This hack sites tag line: “We watch FOX so you don’t have to.” Can you imagine anything as outrageous as a website devoted to telling you what to think about a given topic? "Anywho, Hannity and Innis in an attempt at rehabilitating Chapman’s image have obviously touched a nerve in the white liberal “protect a darkie” community. First of all - do I personally think the Dog Chapman is a racist? I’m not sure, maybe, but frankly I don’t give a shit." The “bring a Negro” home to mommy and daddy scenario is one that a growing number of families must struggle with. It was a struggle with Mrs. Snoop’s parents, her father in tears at the notion that his wonderful first born lawyer daughter would marry some rogue Negro. It drove the man to tears, and not tears of joy. I’m sure I was not the first and won’t be the last Negro introduced to skeptical white parents. "As for Chapman’s tirade on his son’s relationship, I never found his N-word rants as objectionable as most people seem to. Certainly if the majority of you white folks reading this particular piece were to have every private conversation scrutinized a great number of you would be guilty of what I would guess would be called racial insensitivity. I spent a lot of time out on the front steps of many homes upon my arrival because I was not allowed in many homes in my new neighborhood in Oakland amongst the lily white commune who believed that they insulated themselves from those unacceptable Negros that populated the city. These individuals were your typical white liberal types in the Bay Area that would proudly tell you that they gave their all in support of “black” causes. However, when it came to their families and personal lives they wanted to be as far away from these Negros as possible." Chris Rock said in a memorable stand up routine that “there are black folks and there are Niggas” and like him, I hate me some Niggas. I’m certain that I would find most of the “Niggers” that Chapman dealt with as contemptible as he obviously did, hence his ambivalence towards “some” black people. The individual who wrote the above article seems to take issue that anybody, particularly an individual like Roy Innis who was active in the civil rights movement, would so eagerly come to the Dog’s defense, not to mention that a “white supremacist sympathizer” like Sean Hannity would also come to his defense and try to make excuses for Dogs racist tirade. "Liberal racists, both white and black, focused on separatism and racial difference. Instead of subscribing to MLK’s belief in a color-blind society, they pushed for government policies that were color-coded. The further America progressed from the dark days of slavery, the more they insisted that slavery was present throughout America’s social institutions and its personal interrelationships. America was steeped in blood and guilt; it must pay for its crimes against Negros everywhere, so they are compelled to come to the rescue many times in the literary sense as did this Ellen character. These are the individuals who populate the majority of America’s newsrooms and comprise websites like Newshound and Media Matters. For me I took to heart at an early age Dr. King’s notion that people should be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. Nevertheless, white liberal types have marginalized this notion as quaint and naive." Political Party Poop "Fake White Liberal Outrage: The Rehabilitation of Duane "Dog" Chapman

Whew!

The entire piece has to be read to be fully appreciated. Whether you are a fan of Dog the Bounty Hunter, of conservative or liberal persuasion, Snoop puts into writing what people of all colors have said to DBKP in their many emails to us.

Snoop just didn't mince any words.

And that's why we hope that this is not the last time we'll see him here. Snoop's also got a ton of hilarious pix and graphics at PPP.

And don't forget, he's the recipient of the "2006 Angry Negro Award" awarded by the White Liberal Hunters Society.

Mike Huckabee has found that along with press love comes press scrutiny.

Touted with headlines such as the "surging" Huckabee, the "Huckabee support strong" and "Surprising Huckabee", Huckabee's campaign has to now deal with the "A Son's Past Deeds Come Back to Bite Huckabee" headline and story at Newsweek.

Under the mug shot from the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department of son, David, is a story detailing Jr. Huckabee's past run-ins with the law: allegations of torturing and hanging a stray dog, being arrested with a pistol at the Arkansas Airport and allegations that dad Mike leaned on some people to keep the dog story from escalating.

One issue likely to get attention is his handling of a sensitive family matter: allegations that one of his sons was involved in the hanging of a stray dog at a Boy Scout camp in 1998. The incident led to the dismissal of David Huckabee, then 17, from his job as a counselor at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, Ark.

It also prompted the local prosecuting attorney— bombarded with complaints generated by a national animal-rights group—to write a letter to the Arkansas state police seeking help investigating whether David and another teenager had violated state animal-cruelty laws. The state police never granted the request, and no charges were ever filed.

But John Bailey, then the director of Arkansas's state police, tells NEWSWEEK that Governor Huckabee's chief of staff and personal lawyer both leaned on him to write a letter officially denying the local prosecutor's request.

Bailey, a career officer who had been appointed chief by Huckabee's Democratic predecessor, said he viewed the lawyer's intervention as improper and terminated the conversation. Seven months later, he was called into Huckabee's office and fired. "I've lost confidence in your ability to do your job," Bailey says Huckabee told him.

One reason Huckabee cited was "I couldn't get you to help me with my son when I had that problem," according to Bailey. "Without question, [Huckabee] was making a conscious attempt to keep the state police from investigating his son," says I. C. Smith, the former FBI chief in Little Rock, who worked closely with Bailey and called him a "courageous" and "very solid" professional.

There have been whispers that Huckabee advocates have dropped phone messages to voters questioning candidate Mitt Romney's Mormon faith. Huckabee himself made a sly remark that implied that Romney believed Jesus and Satan were brothers.

Questions cut both ways: now questions are popping up about Huckabee's son and Huckabee's involvement in quashing an investigation.

Perhaps the allegations are nothing more than rumors or sly remarks from rival campaigns. Either way, the national press is now paying attention to them.

As we earlier stated in articles, Huckabee is just the latest in a long line of 'media darlings'. When the press ends its fickle love affair, often times the break-up is acrimonious.

Newsday's article on David Huckabee's past troubles may be the latest proof.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Under-Privileged Kids in LA Get $26,000 Worth of Toys

A lot of under-privileged kids in Los Angeles found out what Dog the Bounty Hunter fans knew all along: the Dog has a big heart.

Duane "Dog" Chapman is no longer in the doghouse--at least in the minds of the children who benefited from the TV show's star's $26,000 for charity.

Pulling up to the Toy 'R Us store in LA in a stretch limo, the Bounty Hunter and his wife, Beth, bought 26,000 worth of Christmas presents for the Brotherhood of a New Destiny (BOND) Home for Boys and the Jim Gilian Youth Center.

Fans who were used to seeing the Bounty Hunter surrounded by his fugitive-hunting crew saw a different crew today: under-privileged children accompanied the Dog on his toy-buying spree.

Earlier, Chapman handed out toys to dozens of children and signed copies of his book "You Can Run But You Can't Hide" at the LA headquarters of BOND.

BOND founder Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson said he doesn't think Chapman is a racist and "deserves a second chance."

The scene inside Toys R Us.

Dog, 54, then went around the store’s aisles with Beth filling up a number of trolley’s with toys for the kids, including footballs, remote-control cars and action figures.

An onlooker inside the store revealed that Dog was playing American Football with the children and was very generous with his money.

He said: “Dog was playing ball with the kids inside the store. He was throwing an American football around for them to catch. He had lots of trolley’s full of toys and was enjoying buying Christmas presents.”

The bystander also revealed how Dog was careful with what he bought for the children. “Dog was buying pretty much everything but he drew the line when one of the kids asked for a toy gun. He told the boy straight that they weren’t allowed any weapons.”

After the Dog’s massive shop, a lorry was on order to pick up the $26,000 worth of toys to transport them to the child centers.

Chapman then met fans outside the store and posed for a number of pictures before heading off back home after his good deed.

It was a different story on November 1.

Bounty Hunter Duane hit the front pages over a month ago, after he reportedly used a racial slur during a recorded conversation with his son, Tucker Chapman, in which he urged him to break up with a black girlfriend.

US magazine The National Enquirer taped the conversation and released it to the public after reportedly paying Tucker $15,000 for it.

The Honolulu-based bounty hunter first grabbed headlines when he captured
serial rapist and Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Mexico in 2003.

His hit TV series followed him and his tattooed band of merry men as they tracked down bail jumpers. The show starred members of Chapman’s family, but Tucker Chapman was not regularly featured.

Dog’s show was taken off air indefinitely by the A&E network after the controversy.

Fans of the Bounty Hunter already knew the Dog had a big heart. But they aren't the only ones who can attest to that fact.

A lot of under-privileged kids in the Los Angeles area now also know it.

Who Invited the Dog?

When is it proper to invite the family pooch to social events?

It's difficult to know proper etiquette all the time.

Is it proper to invite the dog or not?

A story of the DOs and DON'Ts of when to invite the pooch and of people so attached to their pets, they can't bear to leave home without them.

IT was a dark and stormy night — actually four stormy nights — when Jayme Otto, 31, and her husband, Ryan Otto, 33, drove 1,200 miles from their home in Boulder, Colo., to her parents’ house in Cleveland for Christmas.

“We traveled all this way to bring our yellow Labrador, Cody Bear, home to spend time with his grandparents,” Ms. Otto said, “grandparents” being dog-person-speak for her parents.

Besides wanting Cody Bear “to participate in his favorite yearly activity of unwrapping gifts and destroying all the boxes,” as Ms. Otto put it, they wanted the dog to meet her brother’s fiancée.

No matter what the author of the story decides, we advise leaving the pup at home for a serious dinner party.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Rumors Rumble About Dog's Return

Is Dog the Bounty Hunter headed back to the TV airwaves?

Could be, if the wags at TMZ are correct.

Neither Dog's camp or A & E Network could be reached for comment.

The "Dog the Bounty Hunter" was a mainstay of Arts and Entertainment Network's line-up and many fans have vowed not to watch the network until the Dog's show returns to the airwaves.

The following piece showed up at TMZ a couple of hours ago is any indication.

Duane "Dog" Chapman looked relaxed and happy, taking a break from his Tour of Contrition '07 for a little R&R last night -- could it be because his show is on its way back on the air?

Sources tell TMZ that the network is very pleased with the progress Dog has made with African-American leaders, but nothing has been decided yet about the return of "Dog the Bounty Hunter."

Meanwhile, we spotted Dog kicking back -- and throwing some shakas -- at a housewarming party for designer Christian Audigier. Chill, brother!

We've chronicled the fall and chastisement of Duane "Dog" Chapman at DBKP and how fans have rallied around the rough-and-tumble star of TV's Dog the Bounty Hunter.

We've also wrote about his good faith efforts to educate himself and overcome some of the habits from his rough youth.

Additionally, we've been impressed by the reaching out by Afro-American groups to the Dog. These groups, such as Brotherhood of a New Destiny in the Los Angeles area and Congress of Racial Equality in New York, have used this episode to educate, not only the Dog, but America at large, about the power of words.

Roy Innis, one of the original Freedom Riding civil rights pioneers, is mentoring the Dog and will be trying to answer any questions Duane Chapman has as he struggles to forge a new future from a rough past.

And if there's anyone who's familiar with struggles--it's Roy Innis.

Brian McLaughlin, a CORE spokesman, was equally impressed with the Dog's attitude.

"Duane Chapman was contrite and offered no excuses. He didn't try to waffle. He was genuine. He said 'I was wrong'. The feeling here was that Dog was a 'man's man' by owning up to his actions and wanting to change."

Jesse Lee Peterson, founder of BOND, seemed equally impressed with Dog's sincerity.

“We don’t condone racial slurs, but upon hearing Dog’s apology and after meeting with him and his family, we don’t believe he’s a racist. We also believe that Duane “Dog” Chapman sincerely wants to make amends to the black community, and deserves a second chance.”

These groups have used the whole Dog episode to raise a discussion about a lot of good points.

One of those points is forgiveness and redemption.

Dog Chapman will be in L.A. tomorrow, signing books, meeting fans and helping BOND raise money at the group's toy giveaway for kids. All the proceeds from Dog's appearance will be donated to the BOND Home for Boys, a worthy cause if ever there was one.

Whether the Bounty Hunter gets his show back or not, he's learning an important lesson: the power of words.

As someone close to the Dog stated: "Dog hurt his fans and he never, ever wanted to hurt his fans. If he had stopped and thought that what he was saying was hurtful and would have made his fans hurt, I think it would have stopped him in his tracks right then and there."

So the Duane "Dog" Chapman appears to be on the right track.

As we stated, if TMZ is to be believed, rumors are rumbling that he may make it all the way back to the TV airwaves.

Different groups have stated what many fans have stated in email to DBKP: that deep down Dog is a good man, not a racist.

At the end of the day, it may be that single fact, that Duane Chapman was a good, though in the case of his exposed phone call, ignorant, man.

That single fact may be what saved Dog the Bounty Hunter: that Duane Chapman is at heart a good man.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Civil Right Pioneer to Mentor Bounty Hunter

Innis once took Freedom Rides Across the South, Now Embarks on a Different Ride: mentoring the chastised star of the "Dog the Bounty Hunter" TV Series, Duane Chapman.

Roy Innis is no stranger to either standing up
or speaking out when the need arises

* DBKP Talks to CORE

Another black group has reached out a hand to help and offered a voice to further the education of Duane "Dog" Chapman.

This time, it's one of America's oldest civil rights groups, C.O.R.E. (Congress of Racial Equality). Civil rights pioneer, Roy Innis, met with Duane "Dog" Chapman and members of his family for consultation and education/mentoring.

Roy Innis, National Chairman of CORE, met with “Dog, the Bounty Hunter” on Tuesday, December 11 at noon at the CORE national headquarters in New York City. Innis has agreed to mentor Chapman in his efforts to seek reconciliation and atonement for his repeated and careless use of the “N word.”

(AP Photo/Dog Inc., Lucy Pemoni)
DBKP got to talk a bit with CORE spokesman, Brian McLaughlin.

According to McLaughlin, Dog met with Innis and CORE staff and explained about his life, background and about his "not wanting to hurt anybody with my words".

"This was a good step forward for him; to be able to continue on the path of changing some offensive behavior."

"Duane Chapman was contrite and offered no excuses. He didn't try to waffle. He was genuine. He said 'I was wrong'. The feeling here was that Dog was a 'man's man' by owning up to his actions and wanting to change."

CORE is using the episode as an opportunity to educate instead of pointing fingers.

"This is not a good word for anyone to be using," explained McLaughlin. "Regardless of who you are."

McLaughlin also said that Innis and Chapman talked about how powerful words can be.

"Be careful what you say: words can hurt."

"Words have that power to hurt and sometimes, people aren't aware of how much power words have. Whether it's in politics or on the playground, words mean something."

* * *

Many people are familiar with both Roy Innis and Duane "Dog" Chapman. Most of those have heard of Dog's rough upbringing and rise through hard work, to become star of TV's "Dog the Bounty Hunter" show.

Some may not be as familiar with Innis's climb to become head of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)--also achieved with hard work.

Roy Innis joined CORE’s Harlem chapter in 1963. In 1964 he was elected Chairman of the chapter’s education committee and became a forceful advocate of community-controlled education and black empowerment. He led CORE’s fight for an independent police review board to address cases of police brutality. In 1965, he was elected Chairman of Harlem CORE, after which he mounted a vigorous campaign for establishment of an independent Board of Education for Harlem. A proposition to this end was presented to the 1967 New York State Constitutional Convention.[2]

Over the years, CORE has provided a much sought-after resource for mediation between divergent groups, in part due to CORE’s mission: “. . . to foster greater understanding and communication between the races and ethnic groups in the United States and globally. According to Mr. Innis, “It’s important to understand that we can not end racism without being willing to listen to the person that you believe has offended you. Duane Chapman has reached out to CORE because we have a reputation of giving people a chance to be heard in a neutral arena.”

Niger Innis, National Spokesman for CORE, also be attended the first consultation.

Niger contends strongly that the “N word” is being abused by the entertainment industry. He sees its use becoming so commonplace that people are desensitized to its impact.

He states, “Our reaction to the N word is a farce. There is absolutely a double standard in the media. A ‘pass’ is given to certain entertainers like Dave Chappelle. As much as I love Dave, he is allowed to do whole skits on the N word without public outcry."

"Rappers are also given a pass to use the N word with far more consistency and stereotyping.” Niger believes that Duane is a victim of pop culture’s “pass / no-pass system.” He applauds Duane’s efforts, because he suspects that on some level he wasn’t totally comfortable with the rampant use of the N word. Says Niger, “He was certainly trying to protect himself from the media, but he was also in a Freudian way, stating a problem.”

Duane has expressed his eagerness to correct misconceptions about himself and to repair his breach of confidence. He particularly wants to restore the relationship he had with the Black community.

He erroneously believed that that word had evolved to be a term of camaraderie. Duane stated that he does not want to be seen as a white racist. According to Chapman, he moved his family to Hawaii because he loved the racial diversity. Chapman’s European and Native American ancestry, an ancestry Chapman has made part of his persona on his television program, has always made him aware that diversity is important.

In the upcoming year, there will be a series of scheduled consultations between Roy Innis and Duane Chapman. Mr. Innis hopes that he will be able to impart key ideas of the Civil Rights movement and in-depth analysis of the current state of race relations in America. He is pleased that Duane will be attending the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Awards Dinner on January 21, 2008.

ABOUT Roy Innis:

Roy Innis’ involvement in criminal justice matters spans his entire career in CORE. His investigation in the early 1980s led to the uncovering of evidence that Wayne Williams was not solely responsible for the Atlanta Child Murders. His defense of victims’ rights to defend themselves led to his support and involvement in highly publicized cases such as: the "subway gunman," Bernhard Goetz; "subway token booth clerk", James Grimes; the "candyman good Samaritan", Andy Fredericks; the "black Bernie Goetz", Austin Weeks; and the accused "remember me subway shooter" Clemente Jackson.

Roy Innis is a nationally known advocate of Second Amendment rights, and is a current board member of the National Rifle Association.

Some of his activities include: investigating and exposing the Tawana Brawley hoax; overseeing and participating in a citizen’s anti-drug campaign, "One Street At A Time"; championing the rights of immigrants; fighting against public indecency and predatory crime in an all-out effort to clean up New York City’s crime-ridden streets and subway system.

Innis lost two of his sons to criminal gun violence. His first son, Roy Innis, Jr., at the age of 13 in 1968. His next oldest son Alexander, 26, was shot and slain some years later in 1982.

Roy Innis is no stranger to either controversy or speaking out, no matter who the opponent.

He was noted for starting two televised scuffles in 1988, one on Geraldo against white supremacists, particularly John Metzger, and another on The Morton Downey Jr. Show against Reverend Al Sharpton, when Sharpton was pushed over his chair.

McLaughlin noted that Roy Innis has many times stated that during the days of the battles for civil rights, black leaders of all political viewpoints would stand on a stage together and join in and lend their voices to the discussion.

Now, perhaps, some of those voices are more concerned with issues other than racial harmony.

Roy Innis, throughout his career, has stood up and spoke out for what he believes, no matter what the challenge. Innis is once again taking the opportunity, not only to speak out, but to teach.

His subject this time: Dog the Bounty Hunter and society's increasing desensitization to the N-word.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Rally Set for NYC Thursday

Organizers hope NYC Dog rally as large as one in Texas for TAR

Dog the Bounty Hunter fans will rally outside the A&E studios building in New York City this Thursday in a show of support for their favorite TV show and personality, Duane "Dog" Chapman.

Organizers are expecting a good turnout of fans in what they bill as a "Peace, rather than a protest type of rally".

A spokesman for one of the organizing groups, Dog's Angels,"We've gotten feedback from people in the NYC area. We have some groups showing up, as well as organized fans, but we still are looking for people to show up and support Dog and his family."

We received the following release from Dog's Angels just a bit ago.

Here is the story of Duane "Dog" Chapman, The Greatest Bounty Hunter in The World.

Mr. Chapman and his family, starred in a reality show on A&E Network's known as Dog The Bounty Hunter--hereafter referred to as DTBH.

He gained fame when he captured the Monster-Predator, one, Andrew Luster, thus propelling him into the limelight of instant Stardom.

This past summer, his book, "You Can Run But You Can't Hide" debuted the New York Times Best Sellers List at #1! Unexpected thousands upon thousands jammed his book signings, only to be turned away, not because Mr. Chapman could sign no more, but because there were no more books left to be sold!

His show was an enormous success,combining the rough and tumble world of bounty hunting, with the home life of The Chapman Family, and bringing to the fore, their deep faith in God, and their unselfish Christian Spirit.

As well as providing compassion and advice to the fugitives they captured, The Chapmans allowed us to view a truly unique family going about their day to day life.

Mr. Chapman has a great appeal to the children. He genuinely cares about their well being and he, along with all the Chapmans, give with their whole heart to such wonderful organizations as "Make a Wish".

Below is a synopsis of what occurred to bring about the demise of DTBH.

Last month, in a PRIVATE telephone conversation with one of his sons, Mr. Chapman used the "N" word in anger and frustration. Little did he know eight months ago, that his own son had taped this conversation and would sell out his own father to the National Enquirer for $15,000! A father, betrayed by his own son!

The National Enquirer posted a partial, edited version of the conversation on the internet, which was taken out of context and, which write-ups were twisted, convoluted and blown completely out of proportion. As a result, Mr. Chapman's show and A&E's #1 program has been halted until further notice.

Mr. Chapman repeatedly publicly apologized on national television on Larry King Live, The Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes, amongst others. He has promised to mend his ways. He has met with several black leaders and continues counseling with his black preacher and spiritual adviser, Tim Storey. The fallout continues.

In the meantime, A&E's action against Mr. Chapman has had traumatic effects not only on himself, but on his entire family. Not only has the network taken away Mr. Chapman's livelihood, but also that of his children, who are also bounty hunters in the show, that have mouths to feed of their own. It also has besmirched the Chapman name.

Thus we are deeply saddened at the loss of DTBH on A&E. We, Dogs' Angels, are trying, with the myriad of other fans, to return Mr. Chapman and his family to Tuesday nights on A&E, where they belong. We have been on an email crusade jamming the Inboxes of A&E's and their sponsors'. Also, we have been boycotting the television network and their sponsors as well, specifically YUM! foods which include Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, A&W, Long John Silvers and Wingstreet. We have also been involved in "The Pineapple Campaign".

We along with other fans are sending pineapples (Mr. Chapman lives in and the show is filmed in Hawaii.) to A&E headquarters in New York City, at times, cases to Abbe Raven, CEO. More recently, we are boycotting The National Enquirer as well. Also, there are petitions with tens of thousands of signatures, requesting A&E to please bring the show back on the air. (One of the major ones is The Keep Dog On TV Petition, http://www.petitiononline.com/

Also, and most importantly, we are holding a rally on Thursday, December 13, 2007 at The A&E Building - 235 East 45th St., New York, from 12:00 PM-6:00 PM. We believe Mr. Chapman deserves a second chance, as he has given so many chances to others.

Below is a view which all Mr. Chapmans' fans hold to be true and honest.

It is my firm belief that the conversation between Dog and his son should have remained a private conversation. Additionally, I believe that by so many people adding hype to this inappropriate comment they are literally making a mountain out of a mole hill. Not to undermine the emotion millions of people feel associated with this word. To condemn him for a comment made in private and then publicly display it for national critics is nothing short of wrong, wrong, wrong. If there is to be criticism it should be directed to at his son. It seems to me that America is condoning the betrayal of a son to his father. That is where all the publicity should fall. Having watched "Dogs" show for years and following his response to this issue it is obvious that "Dog" himself has and is sufficiently punishing himself for letting his guard down and making a comment that was made in anger to his son. I honestly do not believe that it was the intent of "Dog" to hurt anyone with the use of t he "N" word. By publicly deciding the outcome of the future for "Dog" and his entire family over one inappropriate word seems so wrong. To quote scripture "Those among you who are WITHOUT sin cast the first stone". Perhaps you haven't used the "N" word however, the word Jew, Wetback, Whitie along with hundreds of other scenarios are every bit as hurtful to those it is applicable to. Dog does not fit the profile acceptable to mainstream America by presenting his personal taste, methods, expressions etc… Those who enjoy his program have known simply for those reasons that it was only a matter of time before something of this nature devastated his career. Why can't America simply accept his apology and move past this. If all of our conversations were put on public display how many of us would be standing in similar shoes? He was provoked by his son when this comment was made. How many of us say things in anger or when provoked that we would give anything to take back? The attention to all the counseling, guidance and respect he gives to those individuals he brings to justice has not been mentioned once. How many of us are the proverbial "Pot calling the kettle black"? We each have one judge in this life and that is GOD ALMIGHTY, I believe He has the judgment issue under control without our help. I say "Forgive" and move on.

Thank you.

Any and all fans who miss watching Dog The Bounty Hunter are invited to the rally. And please, bring a lot of love!

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Black Group To Host Book Signing and Christmas Toy Giveaway With “Dog The Bounty Hunter”

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson's Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny(BOND), Stretches Out a Hand to Help Someone in Need:
Duane Chapman

The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson has spent his entire life stretching out his hands, to help those in need help themselves. Helping others is what the Rev. does; it's his life's work.

Now, he sees someone else that needs help, and so he's stretching out his hand once more.

This time his helping hand is doing double duty: while he's helping the young men at his Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny(BOND) Home for Boys, he's also reaching out to help another in need: Duane "Dog" Chapman.



From the BOND press release a few minutes ago:

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles based nonprofit organization BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, will host a Book Signing for Duane “Dog” Chapman’s book “You Can Run But You Can’t Hide”, as well as a Christmas toy giveaway for kids on Saturday, December 15, at 11:30a.m.PST.

Who: BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny.

What: Book Signing and Christmas toy giveaway (proceeds go towards the “BOND Home For Boys”)

When: Saturday, December 15, at 11:30 a.m. PST.

Where: BOND Headquarters, 6146 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, Calif. 90035 (S.E. Corner of Pico and La Cienega).

Why: Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND began working with Dog after his popular A&E show “Dog The Bounty Hunter” was suspended when a private message from Dog, which contained racial slurs, was made public. “We don’t condone racial slurs, but upon hearing Dog’s apology and after meeting with him and his family, we don’t believe he’s a racist. We also believe that Duane “Dog” Chapman sincerely wants to make amends to the black community, and deserves a second chance,” said Rev. Peterson.

Come meet “Dog the Bounty Hunter”, purchase an autographed copy of his book; and pick up free Christmas toys for the kids. This event is free and open to the public. You must bring the kids to get the toys. For more information, call (323) 782-1980 or visit www.bondinfo.org

How about it Dog fans?

You've been waiting for news of the Dog and a chance to help him out.

Now you can help the Dog and help a good cause, to boot!

We talked to Ermias Alemayehu, at BOND about the Dog appearance for a good cause.

"We help these young men and we don't take one dime of government money. We earn it the old-fashioned way--we get out and work for our projects."

"We don't believe in being shackled by the government, we'd rather work--and Dog is volunteering to help us do some good."

ANY Dog fan worth his salt in the LA area, head on over to BOND, bring the kids, meet the Dog, and show some support. You've been waiting for something you can help out on--well, here it is.

AND if you're not in the LA area: don't think you can't help out these young men at the BOND Home for Boys and, in the process, help out Dog the Bounty Hunter.

DBKP's been getting emails for weeks--we want the Dog back!

What can we do to help the Dog?

You have your answer! Ermias says any donation will help out. Send BOND $2, $5, $10, whatever, and mark "DOG the Bounty Hunter" in the memo/note line.

"No amount is too small or too large. This is a tremendous help for us, having Dog volunteering like he has."

Help Dog help BOND help these young men help themselves.

Send a message here. BOND will help Dog, Dog will help BOND's Home for Boys, and everyone might just have a merrier Christmas.

MORE on BOND

BOND: Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny What is BOND? Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson and BOND are standing in the gap on behalf of fathers and their families. Thanks to your support, we are rebuilding our families and communities. We are making a profound difference, through our powerful meetings for men and women, Sunday Services, counseling, mentoring, and tutoring; and through programs such as our BOND Home for Boys, After School Character Building Program and Entrepreneur Program; as well as through our radio and TV programs, conferences, workshops, town hall meetings, articles, interviews, and Moral Reconstruction Campaign. BOND Home for Boys The BOND Home for Boys is helping build Black fathers, one young man at a time. What is the BOND Home for Boys? From Bond's Website: Residents of the BOND home come from foster care, group homes, juvenile detention centers, transitional housing, and sometimes the streets. More important than where each boy comes from is his attitude, and willingness to overcome his past. Prior to being accepted into the program, each applicant is evaluated to measure this willingness. BOND's Home is much more than just a physical shelter for young men - it is a full program, with requirements, expectations, and abundant learning opportunities. Residents of the home are helped to overcome anger right from the beginning. This is critical, as anger will have been the number one impediment to their happiness and success in life. To this end, they are counseled by Rev. Peterson, both individually and in group settings. The young men are tutored when needed, helped to put their finances in order, are assisted in finding and holding employment, and are guided to find their purpose in life. Those so inclined are encouraged to start businesses. The BOND Home has been a resounding success and has transformed young men who previously had futures which held little promise. It stands as an excellent example for the surrounding community. There is a constant waiting list at the BOND home, with a great need for more homes like this one, as even a cursory visit to any juvenile detention center would reveal. BOND plans to start new homes as funds allow. Donate to the BOND Home for Boys Want to learn more about Bond? CALL US: 323-782-1980 Toll Free: 1-800-411-BOND (2663)

One can't help but be impressed with this tremendously needed program.

Can you help the Dog help out those young men at BOND?

We're all waiting on that answer.
