“In the 70s, there were three bounty hunters in the US.
There are 8,500 today.”
For the record, he found the episode hilarious.
“It was an honor to be spoofed like that,” he told the outlet.
“You mean like a fire-and-brimstone preacher?
That didn’t really appeal to my tracking, fishing, football-loving, wild-at-heart boyhood,” he wrote.
His father, on the other hand, was abusive, constantly belittling the young Dog.
“If I didn’t win a fight, he would beat me,” Dog remembered.
“If I brought home a bad grade, he would beat me.
If it was Tuesday, he would beat me.”
That led to a youth filled with crime.
After trying to fight one boy who insulted Jesus, Dog picked up his famous nickname.
“‘I’m gonna start calling you DOG … that’s GOD spelled backward!'”
a fellow biker told him.
“From then on, I was Dog.”
Soon he was selling stolen drugs, andDog’s arrest recordbegan.
Though Dog was in the car outside when it happened, he was convicted of murder nonetheless.
As a result, Dog was sentenced to five years in prison.
“That’s why you’re here: To pay for your crimes.
I will not be mocked.
Whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
Dog decided to commit himself to saving his fellow inmates.
As part of his pledge to help the other inmates, Dog also cozied up to the overseers.
He found himself helping keep the other inmates in line.
That’s all it took; Dog was hooked on the idea.
“I felt like I was reading about my future.”
I was consumed with rage and revenge," he wrote in “Nine Lives and Counting.”
He would marry and divorce several more women before meeting Beth, who would become his fifth wife.
At the time, he was dealing with addiction, and he credits Beth with helping him get clean.
Beth was never one to pull any punches."
In 2003, he learned that a man named Andrew Luster had jumped bail and fled his prison sentence.
After being tipped off, Dog and several associates found Luster in Mexico.
They threw him on the ground.
He resisted as they put him in handcuffs."
Ultimately, he did not receive any of Luster’s bail money.
It’s a lesson Dog would have to learn again and again in the coming years.
Fans were fascinated by his incredibly long mullet and tendency to wear sunglasses at all times.
In an interview withThe New York Post, Dog admitted that his instantly iconic look was a costume.
Dog was also still dealing with the fallout from the Luster job.
This, of course, affected the way the case was covered in the media.
They throw us in jail.
I’m so upset about this."
It all came to a head in 2007, when Mexican judges decided to drop the charges.
Still, the pending extradition needed to be overturned as well.
That finally happened by November of that year.
Though this has been a difficult process, they are proud of what they have done."
His words were, ironically, published by The National Enquirer.
“We take this matter very seriously.
Ultimately, Dog went on a public apology tour.
He toldCNNthat he’d stricken the word from his vocabulary, insisting he wasn’t racist.
“I have not looked at none of these shows.
He added, “I said, ‘I won’t.'”
This was ultimately a promise that Dog would not keep.
She had recently lost her spouse, too, and the two bonded over their grief.
Speaking withEntertainment Tonight, Frane explained that she only agreed to date Dog if he went to church.
He did, and the two connected over their faith.
Dog admitted, “We don’t feel guilty, but it’s kind of strange.”
Dog joined in the search, tellingFox Newsthat he knocked on the door of Laundrie’s parents’ house.
“I carry a reputation with me.
The reputation is, ‘He gives you a second chance,'” Dog said.
“‘He’s gonna get you, but he gives you a second chance.'”
Little did he know, Dog was already in the process of messing up his own second chance.
(Or was it his third or fourth, at that point?)
So much for second chances!
In an interview with Sharell Barrera, a televangelist, Dog threatened and misgendered Mulvaney.
“Rebuke Satan out of him and just give him a couple black eyes.
That is, after all, Dog’s latest transformation: Christian influencer.
“I am an evangelist, and my wife is a prophet,” he said.
“I have been assigned to the devil’s herd.
That’s what God has called me to do.
I believe that I have been placed here to take felons to Heaven.”
Still, Dog confessed that he hasn’t changed that much after all.
“I like putting them in the back of the car and watching them cry.”
