Been seeing this guy on TV a lot lately, some real life quotes from Dog that make me laugh:

Interviewer: "Hey Dog, since you are a bounty Hunter what do you think would be the best way to catch Osama Bin Ladden?"

DOG: "I would fly a large plane around with a sign behind it saying 'Bin Ladden's Mom is a Hoe' and that would flush him into the open."

Another one,

DOG: "The closer we get to catching our guy, the more we become kinda like robots on a mission from God."

;D ;D I'm still laughing at that one.
 
Personally, I think the guy looks like he broke his crackpipe when he got out of bed in the morning and things just went down hill after that.
 
This is taken from The Horse Backstreet Choppers Magazine....Sept 05 issue 53

From the Editor (this guy thinks the same as me on this show)

Situated in Hawaii, Dog leads his sons, brother and wife through the rugged streets of Hawaii looking for bail jumpers.
And what a team they are.

First there's Dog himself, a cross between Joe Dirt and the cop from the Village People. I think his strategy is to render his fugitive helpless with laughter with that goofy-as-hell hair do he sports!

Then after they catch their man, Dog tortures them on theride back with verbal assaults, providing some moronic lectures on life. To me it's cruel and unusual punishment to be cuffed and forced to listen to this goofballpreach the gospel according to puke. He's old, fat and wears a gay-inspired, self styled S.W.A.T. outfit when he's "rolling!"

Dog's wife....well what can I say? She's addicted to bleach or peroxide (whatever the women of that area use to make their hair look blonde) and has tiny legs on a big body. She often engages in arguments with the women on the opposing side, trying to act and talk "streetwise", but comes across as a bleach blonde suburbanite with alot of cheap perfume who has a slight intellectual edge over Dog- which isn't saying much guys.

The rest of the cast are mini-me's of Dog. His son Leland, a punk rocker type and his brother, who I'm sure has a name, but I don't remember what it is. Just like the Mutant Ninja Turtles, they all suit up in gay leather attire when they get the word from Dog to suit up.

They seem as inept as the Cincinnati City cops in their pursuit of bail jumpers.

As they are trying to blend in, you'll hear Dog's wife quip, "I think they made us."

Four goofballs, dressed in leather pants, belts, straps and chains, with wild, loud hair-dos, and they wonder why they stand out.

Hell, I don't know Sherlock.

Just goes to show.....the more moronic you act, the better chance you'll have your own TV show.    ::)
 
LOL--WWE.  Forever live the Mullet!!  http://mulletsgalore.com/

You nailed it.  It wouldn't suprise me if "Dog" had a nice little agreement worked out with the "runners" to turn themselves in, then creates the donkey show around pretending to find the guy.  I can only watch about five minutes of that mess, and what I have seen is pathetic.  One of my favorite parts was Dog in a crack house looking for some fister.  He finds a 1 cm square zip loc back with white powder residue.  He sniffs it and says "yep, that's coke alright".  What a jackass!!  OOOO you figured out the white powder in the drug den was coke?  Yer amazing, mister!
I can get past the wife.  Like the country song says "I like my women a little on the trashy side".  Guess I should have married that way then ;D.
 
I think Dog is a joke. I only watched 10 minutes of one show were he caught the bad guy, then later on finds out they have the same religion so he tells the guy that he can't let him go but he will do everything he can to make it so he doesn't go to jail.

If your gonna do that what is the point of arresting the guy?

Its this little thing called compassion.  Bail jumping isn't allowed, but you're still allowed to have compassion for people.
 
Ya its pretty hilarious. One time beth was wearing a US flag outfit and was on the street with Dog. A street person came up to her and asked " Are you superwoman ?". Priceless.
 
I have to admit, it's hilarious - and not just the way they look.  My roomies in the summer and I would watch and noticed some things:

- has to say the word 'ice' more than ten times (not sure, is it just crack or crystal meth?)
- must shout name of son/brother/cousin several times - Justin!!!  Leeland!!!  (we kept yelling that at each other all summer for instant laughs, sad, I know)
- if busting a hawaiian (or other islander) automatically starts saying 'bro' after every sentence (but never says it any other time)
- must empathize with at least one wanted felon, reminicing of when he did time . . .
- . . . which leads to the mandatory 'sniffle scene' where he gets a bit choked up seeing himself in the felon
 
Thread re-opened after cleaning.  Lets keep the inappropriate banter to a minimum.
 
Surely theres more to being a bounty hunter than that...

As in, takes more than a vest and oakley with razor insert sunglasses to be one in the states (I hope).
 
Yeah, you have to buy a badge at one of the stands in a mall.  ;D

It actually depends on which state.  But for the most part it is fairly unregulated, and pretty much anybody can become one.  If anyone here has Rogers on Demand you can actually watch an older A&E special about bounty hunters.  Thats the first time I heard of Dog, was he was one of several bounty hunters profiled on the show (can't remember if it was on TLC or A&E, both networks did a couple of bounty hunter shows in the late 90s after there were several really bad incidents involving bounty hunters killing innocent people). He was just as cheesy then as he is now.  He explains why he calls himself dog (god spelled backwards, apparently he became born again in the 70s while in prison for murder).  Him and his crew were also the retards who went down to Mexico, captured Andrew Luster (Max Factor Heir, wanted for dozens of rapes), and then were promptly tossed in Mexican jail on kidknapping charges.  They didn't bother to check out whether bounty hunting was actually legal in Mexico first.  I think the best episode (in highlighting just how screwed up him and his crew are), was when he tracked down a former employee.  If you google his name, most other Bounty Hunters (or Bail Recovery Agents as they prefer being called) hate him and his crew, cause they represent the worst stereotypes about the industry.  The subject of Bounty Hunting in the states is very interesting though, after reading info about the trade on the net, I was surprised by exactly how much authority they have, and how little they are governed.
 
Hey! I like the Dog. He's real people. You do have to remember that Dog isn't out hunting down America's Most Wanted. He's only nabing lowlifes that jumped bail on his company. Just looking after his own business because if he dosen't find these fine folks he loses money.
I don't think that he's ever considered himself to be some kind of sleuth. Just a bail jumper catcher. And he does have a "past" when he was a biker,doper and a con so I would consider that he can relate to his clients on a first hand basis.

what amazes me , is that they never use the internet, google earth etc in there vehicle or the office.

They spend most shows being lost and Dog and Beth fighting.

BTW, I love the show, its cheesy entertainment which means I am cheesy. Everybody being so critical!!

Its a TV show!!! Remember when WWF was immensely popular! (Hulkamania)

No he doesn't....not all the time anyways. He's a bit of a rarity methinks. From one of your links:

Dog, who also spends a good portion of his time tracking bail jumpers, or skips, between Hawaii and Colorado — where he owns three additional bonding companies.
 

He goes after people who jump bail that was provided by a bailbondsman (sp?). The Bail Bonds company puts up the bail for the person who is waiting for trial. When these people jump bail, the company that put up the bail must get the person back or the court takes the full amount from that company.

That's where bounty hunters come in. The bonding company hires a bounty hunter. For a percentage they'll go after the bail jumper and return them to jail for their trial so the bonding company doesn't have to pay the full amount.

Two years ago, Charley Dillion — a bondsman in Palm Springs, Calif. — posted a $200,000 bond for a murder suspect. After the suspect skipped town, Charley showed up at Dog’s door and begged him to take the case. All Charley had was $5,000 — and brain cancer to boot. “He came in and said, ‘I’m dying,’” Dog recalls, “‘and I can’t leave my wife with this kind of financial burden. You got to find this guy, Duane. You’re my last chance.’”

Dog found the skip, but still hasn’t been paid. “How can you take money from a guy who’s dying?” he asks.

If he doesn't get them, he doesn't get paid....sometimes he doesn't on his own accord though.

Regards
 
Sure it's cheesy. Dog & Co. don't  pretend to be on a level with the big guys. They don't try to cover up their mistakes-----Now that's a statement. --Most of the show is a series of mistakes followed by a lucky break. That's reality folks.
