Duane ‘Dog The Bounty Hunter‘ Chapman and his wife Francie Frane are expanding their family as they welcome an adorable Christmas puppy to the clan.
Chapman rose to fame on A&E’s reality series, Dog The Bounty Hunter. For eight seasons, Duane and his late wife, Beth, starred in the show and went on to have many spin-off series.
Duane has taken a break from reality TV since 2019, the year of his wife Beth Chapman’s death – they were together 13 years. He got re-married to Francie two years after Beth’s tragic passing as they both connected over losing a partner.
Now, it appears the duo has an addition to their family, an adorable furry friend.
