HERE'S WHAT I THINK

Dog the Bounty Hunter should be brought back to television.

Let me start by saying this: In no way to I advocate using racial epithets. However, the circumstances that led to Dwayne "Dog" Chapman's show being canceled is completely unfair and unwarranted.

Dog the Bounty Hunter was canceled after a private conversation with his son was obtained by the National Enquirer. In the conversation Dog uttered a racial slur while talking to his son in what he thought was a private dialogue between a father and a son. He was not using the term at anyone directly; he just said the word itself.

Who among us has not had a private conversation that we may not be proud of and that we could get in trouble at a job over? I think that we all have. But the private talk between the Dog and his son was just that, a PRIVATE conversation.

After the tape was released, Chapman made a heartfelt apology to the American public and I believe that he truly meant what he said. I believe that he handled the situation like a man. He took responsibility for what he said, and he apologized from the bottom of his heart.

The Dog does a lot of good work and sets a great example on turning your life around and second chances. His show being taken off of the air is not making society any better; it is only taking away a man and his message of second chances and forgiveness.

YOUR TURN!

Dog the Bounty Hunter should be brought back to television.

Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes, you're right!

I enjoyed the show very much. The man is only human with his son's best intrest at heart. I don't really think he was attacking the girl's color only her life style.

I've never watched the show. But as with anything else like this the market should determine if the show stays or goes. Please stop with the whining and coersion.

We liked the show. He's an example of how a person can turn their life around and make this a better place to live. Never taped the show or anything but caught it at off hours.
I think I read that A&E had decided to bring him back next year--hope so!

I miss DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER.... I miss the shows - new and old... I am happy to say just before he was cut from tv I taped all of his shows onto my PVR... I love the rule that happens at home stays at home...thus meaning keep the family issues like that private... Dog, I know it wasn't you that leaked it...but I'm not fully happy with your son that leaked it... It was uncalled for and Grrrrrrrrrrr just upset's me... Dog talkes to ALL the criminals that either surrender or he goes and hunts down and talks to them about second chances.... if they did something bad ( drugs, theft, attempted murder, assult as per some of his shows ) and he can give them all another chance, WHY CAN'T THEY (A&E NETWORK) GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE...... ps...

Beth... Leland....Duane Lee....... Baby Lisa......Tim...... and the rest of the gang.... I wish YOU ALL WELL and I hope that ONE OF THE TV STATIONS will pick you back up again... I can't wait to see some new shows... ps... a ticket to see you in person would be great unless you and the gang do a trip to the area of TORONTO or OTTAWA ONTARIO.. that's a few hrs drive for me but well worth it to meet you all in person... I think you have a gift Dog, and you bring a lot of heart into things that you do.

Dog and his family are all hero's. Take a look at how many lives they have saved by helping people who have lost control of themselfs ! I myself enjoy watching a reality program that show's their are still people in this world that care. Everybody makes mistakes and some bigger then others but it takes a real man to admit his wrong doing. Dog should never have been taken off air.

Interesting how people have such negative feelings about someone they don't even know...Dog might not be your kind of person in style or looks(prejudice?), but does that give anyone a right to judge him and be so mean? I have a hard time with judgmental people, they are either jealous or ignorant...that's just my opinion.

Let him prove himself on this show, he made a mistake by his choice of words, can any of us say we have never done that? You don't know his heart, only God does, and He is the one in control, it will be His judgment...so what ever you say negatively about Dog, only makes YOU feel good.

I don't agree with what Dog has said in the past. It just goes to show you that there are still racism in this country. Now because he was caught doesnt excuse him. He wants to try and make people believe he is not a bigot/racist. There are many more hidden racists out there that are in political positions, law enforcement and the military. Im a 21yr military vet that has put my life on the line year after year to ensure American people have freedom. I used to be an avid viewer but i have moved on to other reality shows......

Dog's a good guy. You've got to be tough to be a bounty hunter and some of that toughness spills over to his language. He needs to clean up his vocabulary if he truly wants to be seen as a man of God. Words matter and constant use of profanities degrades language and behavior. The kids look up to him so he needs to take responsibility for his language.

I agree that the Dog should come back. He is such a great example of how people can change to do good no matter how much trouble they get themselves into. Change is possible for anyone.
