In the wake of Duane Dog Chapman's arrest and pending extradition to Mexico, support is pouring in for the famed bounty hunter.
A&E, the channel which airs his reality series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," issued a statement saying, "A&E supports Dog and his family during this difficult time and is proud of his role in helping to bring a convicted serial rapist to justice."
Chapman traveled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in 2003 to retrieve Max Factor cosmetics heir Andrew Luster, who was wanted in the U.S. on rape charges. Luster is now in jail, serving a 124-year term. The Chapmans were jailed in Mexico for a brief time for the incident three years ago. Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico.
"Dog is a hero to America ... Dog captured this horrible guy [Andrew Luster] and now he's in trouble for it all over again, " says Rick Fass of Powerlock, a company Chapman is a spokesman for. "It just doesn't make sense," Fass adds, "Powerlock and the entire Powerlock family stands behind our national spokesperson."
Chapman recently filmed an ad for the Powerlock company's new product, Wheel Safe, which keeps wheels, tires and custom rims locked, preventing robbery.

I was so mad that I contacted the Mexican embassy in DC. They didn't even know about the arrest and I told the man I spoke to to go online and read the news himself. He did so while I was on the phone with him. I also let him know that I was sure that his embassy would be getting a lot of phone calls regarding the arrest of Duane Chapman and his family members.
How can the Mexican government condone something like that. I hear the sound of the Max Factor family paying off El Presidente. I say boycott Mexico as a vacation destination and show them that what they just did was really stupid and that they should be greatful that the Chapmans got a convicted serial rapist off the streets. I say boycott Max Factor products to show them that what is happening will not be condone. For the American government to allow this to happen, is telling the world that we won't extredite murderers, but we will extredite people for misdomenors to foreign countries. How much more stupid can our government get? The U.S. can't find Ben Ladin, but yet they can arrest and send Duane and his family to Mexico for doing a good deed. I guess the saying is true, no good deed shall go unpunished. Where is the justice in what has happened?
Stay strong Chapman family. The Great Creator is watching over you.
The U.S. should stand behind Dog, Leland and Tim all the way!!! Dog and his partners are American Heros! Write your congressmen, insist on America standing behind these guys. What about the 3 women who were raped by Luster? Dog and his crew did the right thing!!! God be with Dog , Leland , Tim and the entire Chapman family. It's all a bunch of Mexican bullshit!!
This is typical BS...Mexicans running rampant over the border...breaking our laws and the DOG brings back a scumbag......from Beanerland...and now we want to extradite him? The scum rapist he caught would have lived down there forever with his millions of dollars and the Mexican corruption......they would have never given the guy up...he was a cash cow for them......We need to send an A-Team to free DOG and friends from that hellhole of a country! Mexico is now on the list with Iraq, Iran, N. Korea, Etc!!!!!!!!! Gentleman start your nuclear submarine engines!!!!!!

Need to send all the illegal immigrants here in the U.S. back to the mexican government too if they want Dog for what he did. Our prayers are with you Chapman family.
WHAT I FIND FUNNY IS THAT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING THESE STUPID COMMENTS ABOUT DOG AND HIS FAMILY ARE PROBABLY INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY THATS WHY THEY DON'T LIKE THEM AND COMMENTS ABOUT HOW HIS WIFE LOOKS IT HAS NOTHING TO DUE WITH THE SUBJECT AT ALL SEND A PICTURE OF YOUR UGLY A** SO WE COULD MAKE FUN OF YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR YOUR A BUNCH OF LOSERS!
Sure, Dog's ways are a little unorthodox, he is a little rough around the edges, but who would you rather have living next to you...a rapist or a bounty hunter?
YOU GO DOG!!!
By the way Cebula you are wrong!!! the "ausie show boy with a tv show" as you put it is Steve Irwin (a fine human being that will be missed by millions, including me!) and the DOG is a bounty hunter.DIdn't your mamma ever teach you if you can't say something nice then don't say nothin' at all?
Does anyone know how much assistance we give Mexico, well its a lot of money. and I don't see any of the people getting any of it. Now they want one of our people for getting a rapist. I say stop giving them any more money and make them tell where it goes and give us back our People. And there sure are a lot of crooks commeting tonight also. Seems some online need to be in jail. BH
Free the dog, Leland, and Tim! It's 3 f*cking years later and Andrew Luster deserved what he got, whoever the guy was that signed the warrant needs to get beaten with a big spikey stick *mumbles curse under breath*
