I have gone crazy about this show and have spent the past few weeks downloading whatever episodes I can get my hands on.
In case you haven’t heard (and if you’re from Australia, it’s quite likely you haven’t), Dog is a bounty hunter with a heart. After getting out of jail for murder, the man, well into the second half of his life, decided to turn to God and use his strengths (brute force, etc.) to better serve the community. This show, which is totally real, is Dog and his family of bounty hunters at work to chase down those who are on the run from the law in Hawaii. Dog always makes a surprising turn at the end after calling the fugitive abusive names, to once captured, trying to talk him/her into good and help him/her out before he/she goes to jail. Perhaps it’s last minute repentance, but the fugitives almost always seem to take Dog’s advice.
Now, I have no time for shows that try to push religion, but this family is more like the family over the back fence of the Camden’s from 7th Heaven – the kind of family you don’t mention when you’re trying to sell your house. I think perhaps I have some kind of attachment to the show as I first saw Dog on an episode of “Take This Job”, a very late night show here which featured Dog’s hunting efforts as an extreme job. It was from this episode that Dog picked up his own show.
If you think an ex-crim turned good, Bounty Hunter with a Heart named Dog might appeal to you, just look up your favourite torrent tracker.
I haven’t actually seen this show, but I have seenthe commercials for it on Fox8. I am so over the whole reality show thing that I can’t bring myself to give this one a go.
Obviously this guy is one of those “don’t judge a book by it’s cover cases” because no way would I have thought he had any kind of christian faith.
