When you come across "Dog the Bounty Hunter" on the television, the first thought that goes through your mind is, "these people just stepped out of Wrestle Mania 1985!". "Dog" Chapman is a bounty hunter in the Hawaiian Islands, and he, along with his family, hunts criminals that skip out on bail. The best part of this reality show is the personalities of the people involved in the hunt. Dog and his wife are the perfect match of eighties aqua net hair and biker duds; if you saw them on the street I promise you would stare. After the fugitives are caught, and often manhandled and maced by Dog and his cohorts, the Dog always attempts a heart to heart with them to convert his captures to a better way of life that won't lead them behind bars. Dog thinks it is his duty to try to help because, long ago, he once was a fugitive involved in killing a man in a drug deal gone wrong. Now he hunts those like he once was, trying to right his own past wrongs to society.
