Dog’s Fans Go On Offense in Effort to Get Show Reinstated
Different Methods Used to Make their Voices HeardÂ
Got a Spare Pineapple?Â
Dog the Bounty Hunter’s fans are playing offense with the A&E Network. Dismayed over A&E’s pulling of “Dog the Bounty Hunter”, fans are letting the network know just exactly how they feel about the decision.
Petitions to reinstate the show are circulating all over the Internet. There are six listed at the end of this story. If you haven’t registered your support for the Bounty Hunter, there’s no time like the present.
The DBKP petition will be sent off to the Art & Entertainment Network in a little over three days. The same petition is posted at a couple other locations. All three will be consolidated and sent in one long email to A&E, along with any comments by the signers.
The petition will also be followed up with a phone call to A&E to make sure the right person received it and to gauge any reactions.
If there’s a spare pineapple around the house, you might consider sending it to A&E as a statement of support for the Dog. Or you might send a fresh one along.
So fans are using several different approaches to make their voices heard.
First up is a story of how sending a pineapple to A&E might just give the network something into which to sink their teeth.

watch any programs from a&e
A&E stopped airing a Fantastic show after a rag magazines tanticks. I am not
not going to send you one of our countries best fruit to let you know what a mistake you are making.
Please move on and let Dog and his team do what they do best!!!!!
A&E is out in this house and multiplying throughout this huge family (and then some). A&E may as well just “fold up shop” because you have NOTHING OF INTEREST any more without the Dog. Rerun after rerun….how boring! Have not and will not watch A&E until you return to the people what they want.
BRING THE DOG BACK PLEASE!
I WILL NOT WATCH ANYTHING ON A AND E UNLESS DOG IS BROUGHT BACK. A AND E YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THE FANS.
I have signed many petitions, but will sign all that come my way, we NEED DOG back!!! I havent watched A&E and wont until he comes back. Dog and Family are the greatest, and we MISS HIM…PLEASE bring him back on!!!
Did “The Dog” really do anything that bad? Was it abuse, murder, or mayhem? Dog proliferates morals and proper lifestyles. He has a “colorful” vocabulary, yes, but he didn’t mean anything by it. His son was in the wrong to do that to his own father. AND, since when do the RAGS rule our world? You say A&E is losing advertisements, well I’ll bet a lot will cut off A&E becaused they cut dog. I, as well, will not watch A&E until the Chapman family are brought back.
I have not and will not watch A&E until you put Dog back on the air.
I am very upset with A&E for pulling Dog. On Larry king, his appproval was over 85%, So are we ,the viewers, who PAY FOR CABLE OR SAT. TV, now being dictated by a small percentage of what we have or want to watch????………A&E says it’s losing advertisements, but what they are really losing are their loyal FANS!!!!
My family and friends have stopped watching the A & E programming line-up since they pulled DOG off the air. If A & E does not bring back DOG they will lose many loyal, long time viewers. So what if they lose their current sponsors. There are many sponsors waiting in the wings to advertise on A & E’s number “1” program. A & E – A private conversation is a private conversation. You have too much to lose by not putting DOG back on the air.
SUPPORT THE DOG!!
Duane “Dog” Chapman was having a private conversation with his son. He was not speaking on air nor was it intended for broadcast. His son would make the best father ashamed. The “N” word is commonly used on a daily basis by black
entertainers and among the black population. Why is it so wrong for a white
person to use the same language blacks use to describe themselves? Especially
in a private conversation.
I urge A&E to ignore racist people like Al Sharpton and the so called “Reverend” Jesse Jackson. Those two individuals demonstrate their
racism on a daily basis. Ban them and I will rejoice.
A&E is doing the right thing by keeping the show off the air right now. Tensions are running TOO high. And what about the news that Beth may leave Dog because she thinks he made a terrible mistake?
I personally do not think that DTBH should be brought back. Dog has shown his true colors to the public, and I could never watch him PRETEND to be a good Christian man again.
I have stopped watching A&E since Dog was pulled from the air. People make mistakes. Everyone involved was wrong. I keep asking myself, what is worse, using hurtful language in a fit or anger or selling out your family member for money? PLEASE bring Dog and his family back. They have done so many good things for so many people. Are we going to let one mistake cancel all of that out?
The Dog was the only show on A&E worth watching. No doubt a mistake was made by using the “N” word it was a private call and should have never been made public. Until the Dog is brought back I will not be watching A&E!!!
Dog was stabbed in the back by his own son , THEN by A&E ! I will NEVER watch another show on A&E until Dog is brought back ! We are all human and say things in the privacy of our own homes and he should not be punished for his son’s actions !
A&E taking Dog off the air tells the National Enquirer that A$E agrees with that tabloid rag, that bribing exconvicts to rat on their father is the good and right thing to do. Boycott all the tabloids, too.
Our family had stopped watching A&E and will not watch it until they start filming Dog again. What happened to Dog is a very sad thing, his own felsh and blood sold him out for money. And in most states being recorded is illegal, he was mad at his son and as any person would do said things that they don’t mean A&E should know this. They are a wonderful family and deserve everything that they have.
I hope dog stays off tv forever. If you want to watch people get arrested watch cops. It was a terrible show centered on a terrible family. Kudos to his son for showing the world his true character!!
Please return Dog the Bounty Hunter to A&E as soon as possible, and keep shooting new episodes. I have 3 Master’s Degrees. This program appeals to me because of its honesty and compassion for drug users and abusers.
A&E is losing millions of viewers and dollars by their idiotic, kneejerk reaction! I wonder how many of A&Es executives could have their own private phone conversations recorded without their knowledge, and come up smelling like a rose? None, I’d bet!
Nobody is watching your station anymore, A&E! Bring back Dog The Bounty Hunter!!
Oh, and to the poster called: Cocoa_Chenille, what you said shows your true personality. You dislike good people, and cheer on the illegal actions of a creep who turned on his own flesh and blood! Why don’t you shut the hell up and go read the latest issue of the National Enquirer! Apparently, it’s on your I.Q. level! (or lack thereof!)
Time for the Dog to come back..
“What’s done in the dark will always come to light.” Suitable name NightHunter!
Bring the “Dog” back. He is our hero. We all make mistakes. Bring him back now you fools or some other network will take him from you.
Don’t be foolish, bring him back NOW!!!!
Just suck it up and put Dog the Bounty Hunter back on or let him go to another network. What happen to privacy rights it was a private conversation that should not have been made public. If Dog was a comic it would be ok he could say anything. If he was a singer he could sing about anything. He is a bounty hunter what it should matter what words he uses he and his family helps the people in a way nobody else would he treats these people who have done wrong like they have a chance in the world to do better in their life. So I will say it again get over it and put him back on.
I would like to watch again the show so please bring back
We will NOT watch A&E until it brings Dog’s show back. Simple as that.
I WOOD LIKE TO WATCH A@E AGAIN BUT I WILL NOT WATCH IT TELL YOU PUT DOG BACK ON WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES DON’T BE FOOLISH BRING HIM BACK. WE LOVE YOU DOG.
life will not be the same for the millions of true fans if they pull DOGAND leland off the air. I currently in discussions with the national broadcasters in Ireland re setting up a mini series in the EMERALD ISLE.
We watch Dog twice every night in Scotland, Great Britain through the “Bravo” network. Dog is all about second chances, so why cant the A&E network and the American pubic give HIM a second chance? How can the US allow a black rap artist to relase an album titled “N****R” and on the same week condemn another for saying it in a private conversation.? Bring Dog back A&E, and show some spine instead of the Political Correctness gone mad.
PLEASE PUT DOG BACK ON A&E IT IS A SHOW ALL ABOUT SECOND CHANCES SO WHY CAN’T ANYONE GIVE DOG A SECOND CHANCE.
Dog is a racist. You are all in denial. Listen to the tape. Think about how he treats his own son (and other allegations of abuse by former wives and his other children).
Please put Dog back on the air. The show is about giving people who have made mistakes a second chance. We should give Dog a second chance. Give him the chance to make it right!
I want to see the Dog again. I love that show. I miss that whole family.
I do not watch A & E anymore with the Dog..
I will not watch an A&E Show and until they put dog back on!!!
I am not watching A&E until Dog the Bounty Hunter comes back!!!!!
It is grossly unfair for A&E to stop airing “Dog the Bounty Hunter” for remarks that were made during a supposedly confidential conversation between Dog and his son. The truth is that we are all racists, which is to say that we ALL make judgments about others based on color. Racism is in the air we breathe, and all of us need to work to rid our world of racism. To judge one man as somehow “guilty” is ignorant. I speak as someone who has taught graduate courses about multiculturalism and diversity at two Catholic colleges, and who has given a number of training workshops at the regional and national levels. A&E is dead wrong, and its pseudo-righteousness is unethical and, most probably, illegal. I refuse to watch A&E until Dog returns.
It really sucks what they did to Dog. I WILL NOT WATCH AETV TILL THEY PUT DOG BACK ON AIR. What the hell it was a personal conversation that dog and his son had. It should have never been put on the air.
i think it doesnt matter cuz the show sucks
I don’t think the punishment fits the crime, Who is A&E to pass Judgement anyway? You should let the viewers decide.
While I do not approve of the way Dog handled the situation with his son and his choice of words, I do not believe removing his show from the air because he said a particular word in a private conversation is appropriate action. I also do not approve of his son releasing the tape for money. That was a horrible thing to do.
There is way too much emphasis put on this one word. There are many horrible and degrading words that people use every day and no one makes a big deal about them. The “B” word is used everyday by many people and is totally derogatory towards women but it is accepted by society. I find that word offensive but I don’t see anyone going to bat for women because people use that word. Besides, this is supposed to be a free country and we have a constitution that guarantees us free speech. Dog has spent most of his life using these types of words and it is difficult, especially when angry, to watch what words we use sometimes. The use of a word does not make someone racist. And even if he were racist, doesn’t he have a right to believe what he wants? He may have made mistakes in his life – is there anyone out there that hasn’t? Give the guy a break! He has apologized and is sorry. Give us back the Dog! Put Dog the Bounty Hunter back on the air!
A&E NEEDS DOG ON THE AIR. LOOK AT ALL THE GOOD HES DONE FOR THE US? DOG HAS USED FORGIVENESS IN MANY CASES AND THE SAME SHOULD BE FOR HIM. F*** A&E IF THEY DONT PUT HIM BACK ON I WONT WATCH THE NETWORK..
dog the bounty hunter was the #1 rated show on a & e….. they took it off why? because his son secretly taped the conversation and sold it to a rag mag like the national enquirer?? and hello– did anyone mention that the conversation took place 8 (now 9) months ago?? dog is all about giving 2nd chances– now its time that someone gave him a 2nd chance– i want his show back on, and so do tons of other fans. im not wasting a pineapple on a douchebag network like a & e, but i will sign every petition to get dog and his loving family back on the air …. i love dog and his family and his show. lets all show dog a little support and for those who dont want to see him back on, there’s no room for you here … this is for dog fans ONLY so take your comments and shove them where the sun dont shine
Bring the show back or I will let everyone know not to support this network. I will not watch ANTHING from this network until you bring back my dog, beth, leland, and tim. Please bring this show back, everyone misses him.
The first thing is that Dog had alot to teach many of us and may (at some point in the future) do so once again.
People are so much in need of heroes these days with all the trouble in the world. When people they look up to let them down things become bleak and people lose hope.
Dog Chapman (like it or not) let down many of us (of all races) with his “n” comments. It is irrelevant how this came to light or whether you like the lady his son is seeing or not.
We need the know that the person who teaches us the importance of decency and Christianity is for real. Clearly many of us are now questioning this when it comes to Dog.
Dog’s integrity (saying, doing, and living the same thing without contradiction) has come to be in doubt recently.
The good news is that everyone makes mistakes in their life and should always have a chance at redemption if they recognize their error and “when they are genuine.”
If these comments were made many years ago this would be much less relevant because we could give the benefit of the doubt. The recency of these comments is more problematic.
Dog’s challenge is not to convince “others” he has changed. Dog’s challenge will be to convince himself that “he” has changed and others will eventually come to see him as genuine once again.
Not like the Larry King thing which did little to convince me (and likely others) that he was truely remorseful and understood the hurtful nature of this.
Would I like to see Dog back? Absolutely but he needs to get real first. A & E should find it in their hearts to give him a second chance at the opportune time should that time come.
Just like the harrassment we often hear of in our places of work it is irrelevant what the intention was. When using the “n” word one must consider how much they are hurting others who do not deserve this. This has nothing to do with the intention of the speaker.
God Bless you Dog and hopefully we will see you again soon.
I think the dog needs to pulled off the air and kept off the air he is obviously a racist that means when the cameras are not running and he has to capture a black person he is probably throwing the N WORD alllll over the place you cant change a leopards coat HE WILL NEVER CHANGE he is a mutt
we know you had neaver hear bad thing you bring
good thing in life .when trouble me and you can fix them up ok.
I think the DOG needs too get off the show .He is letting this show get to his head.By thinking that he is the LAW he is not the law
ofHawaii or any other state or countries He turnsfriends againt each other and also families againts each other.He,s ways of doing things is unconsitutional everyone knows you need a warrant even the HPD have there warrant on hand.PEOPLE KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!!!!!!
what gives? do the people not like shows that are real. this is a person who cares and tries to make a difference. without the dog you have nothing i want to watch. get smart and bring back the dog.
