She didn’t enroll at college upon matriculating, but found a job to financially support herself.

However, the marriage lasted for only two years; Dog and Tawny have no children together, and when asked about the marriage, Dog stated that it was horrible from the very start, mostly because Tawny was addicted to amphetamines.

Who is Dog The Bounty Hunter?
Duane ‘Dog The Bounty Hunter’ Chapman was born in Denver, Colorado USA, on 2 February 1953 – his zodiac sign is Aquarius, and he holds American nationality. He gained fame and recognition after being cast to star in his own reality series “Dog the Bounty Hunter”. It also starred Leland Chapman and Beth Chapman, and follows Dog and his family members as they’re chasing convicts in Hawaii; the series aired from 2003 to 2012, and received mixed reviews.
Dog was raised in Denver, alongside his siblings Jolene Kaye Martinez who died in 2016 aged 61, Paula Hammond and Michael Chapman, by their mother Barbara Darlene Chapman (nee Cowell) who was a minister of Assemblies of God, and their father Wesley Duane Chapman who was a welder, bail bondsman, and a war veteran. Dog’s mother died in 1994, aged 60, and his father in 2000, aged 70.
He was 15 years old when he ran away from home, and joined an outlaw motorcycle club. When he was 23, Dog was sentenced to spend five years behind bars, after having been convicted of a first-degree murder, but spent just a year and a half in jail before being pardoned, and it was around that time that Dog became a bounty hunter.
He was all around the news in the US when he caught the sex offender Andrew Stuart Luster, who was the heir to the line of cosmetics, Max Factor; Andrew fled the USA having been convicted on 86 counts of rape and assault. Dog worked with his son Leland and their friend Tim, and they caught Andrew in Puerto Vallarta in Mexico on 18 June 2003; he was subsequently sentenced to spend 125 years in prison.
Doug or ‘Dog’ had already been a bounty hunter for more than two decades when he appeared in a TV show for the first time, entitled “Take This Job”, which featured people working odd or unusual jobs. That of a bounty hunter attracted attention, and a production company wanted to make a show revolving around how Dog caught Andrew Luster.

After “Dog the Bounty Hunter” ended, Dog starred in his new show “Dog and Beth: On the Hunt”, which featured him and his now former wife ‘hunting’ for convicts.
In 2019, Dog starred in “Dog’s Most Wanted”, and was about to star in his new show “Dog Unleashed” in 2021, but it was cancelled.
He has published two books: “You Can Run But You Can’t Hide” in 2007, and “Where Mercy Is Shown, Mercy Is Given” in 2010.
