Dog Free: "We're Not Saying We Told You So ..."

The DogDuane "Dog" Chapman found out conclusively today that he won't be locked up in a Mexican jail -- and he could barely contain his relief. Que bueno!

In a statement to AETV.com, the famed Bounty Hunter told fans, "I'm just like in shock right now," after a Mexican court granted him his freedom this morning. Still, he refused to take the opportunity to talk trash; instead, the clearly emotionally drained Dog -- one of TV's toughest tough guys -- just lost it.

Meanwhile, his Huntress, Beth Chapman, gave us the news update, namely that a court in Puerto Vallarta considered the motion of Dog's lawyers -- which said that the statute of limitations had run out -- and decided to let Dog and his two associates go free. "Many many mahalos," says Beth to Dog's supporters, "and aloha."

31. I do not like they way he treats native hawaiians, he makes them all look like junkies and thieves for the success of his show. Based on some of the other comments, looks like other people think he is a creep as well.

34. I am glad he won't be going to prison. He caught a man that belongs in hell. There would be zero justice in punishing Dog and his family for taking this slime off the streets.

I love Beth, she's not fake to fit what others find acceptable. She is who she is take it or leave it she doesn't care and I love that. We need more people like her.

35. Bookworm, if the Mexican National came to my country to "kidnap" a resident in our country that also happened to be a serial rapist and a felon, I probably would say good riddance to the felon serial rapist and not waste time crying about the worthless piece of garbage that wouldn't be raping in MY country anymore. Thank God for bounty hunters, our laws are so weak and worthless now, it's a wonder anyone even gets to jail at all. Maybe this is the way it has to be because too many unfeeling lawyers keep putting too many felon serial rapists back on the streets.

Welcome back, Dog, thanks for all you do.

36. Glad he caught that rapist Luster, but I don't know about him. Seems like he's hiding something.

37. IMAO: F U!!!! Racist mother F!!!! Who do you think brought you color t.v! Just because poor people come to this country from Mexico, don't assume they are all the same. I bet you would be the first one to run to Mexico, God forbid, if something like that movie, The day after Tomorrow, happened.

38. They're the epitome of white trash, and he does more drugs than the people he catches. What a hypocrite. But, OK, good that he caught the rapist.

40. To # 37, Miss Marples:
You know, I've been thinking the same thing ever since I started watching the show. I think he's either doing the drugs he finds or something... But there's DEFINITELY something crooked going on on his side...

44. Yeah-that's good news.He seems like a good guy and is trying to clean up our streets!!!!!!

45. IMAO: Good one! NOT! Like I said, RACIST! This is not about building walls. This is about laws, right. The laws, I assume, you want immigrants to follow when they enter this country. In Mexico, it is illegal to bounty hunt. Yeah, I'm glad he was caught, but the law is the law. Right? I am from Santa Barbara, where is commited all of his crimes. They did very little to catch this guy. How can a bounty hunter, over the FBI, catch a fugitive wanted by the FBI? Keep your racist comment to yourself. There is no need for that here!
