Dog Loosed from Goose Parade

Duane "Dog" Chapman may have thoroughly cooked his own goose with an N-word-laced rant, but now he's burning another Goose -- the long-running San Diego parade -- by pulling out just days before the festival.
Dog Chapman
TMZ has learned that Dog has ditched the 61st Annual Mother Goose Parade, where he was originally scheduled to be part of the "Walk of Fame," along with celebs like Katharine McPhee, Drake Bell, and Roselyn Sanchez. Lucky for animal lovers, Sylvester the Cat, Daffy Duck and Tweety Bird will be there.

Meanwhile, a source tells TMZ that the revelation that Dog's son Tucker was the one who sold his father's rant to the National Enquirer isn't so shocking -- given that he's done it before. We're told that just a few months back, Tucker was paid by the tabloid for a story about his dad disappearing.

UPDATE: Turns out it was the other way around: the Dog was looking forward to doing the parade, but they were the ones that canceled on him. Wonder why?

76. With relatives like the Dog's, who need enemies?

77. It is legal to record phone conversations, even when all parties aren't aware, it's also legal to make said recording public. The only restriction is that the conversation can't be used in a court as evidence (usually, but exceptions have been made).

Tucker was threatened by his boss over his choice of girlfriends. Dog, as the employer, broke the law with his threat.

Tucker made some money, so what? That is what America is about.

79. When did all the shills for Dog show up to the TMZ forums? The son's motive is irrelevant. Dog did not make a single "mistake". If you listen to the entire message it's obvious that the man is a racist. He says he would never let his daughter date a black man. If she did he said his response to her would be "F*** You". You shills can shill under your face turns blue but the end result will the be same - his show will be cancelled and nobody on the street will ever help him find a fugitive again. In fact I doubt he will continue with the business because as unsafe as it was before it's even more so now with his true beliefs about minorities exposed.

80. I have watched the show many times. I have also listened to the tape. What amazes me is how it is so wrong for us white people to say the "N' word, but why is it ok for the black community to say it? For all those from the black community who believe that this word is unacceptable, well then maybe they ought to stop using the word as well. I am not a racist nor do I use the word, however, I do believe though the black race needs to stop bashing the white race for use of words, when they clearly use these words as well. We are all humans and we all make mistakes and I believe that this recording should have NEVER been released to the media. The way society is today, this guy might just want to crawl in a hole and not come out for awhile, because all the big leaders and individuals from the black community will not let this go anytime soon. We will be hearing about this for at least the next two to three months.

81. If he uses this word at home, what is he teaching his other children? Calling anyone derogatory names is unnecessary. Dog and Beth were given a huge gift with A & E. What comes with that is some responsibility for their actions, and the actions of their family,

Dog blew the futures of everyone else that worked on that program, by not controlling his anger and his mouth. Like father, like son.

AMEN BRO!!!!!!!
And just to let them all know, No where in our laws does it state you can't call a person by another name whether you call someone a n----r, chi-k, rag h--d, redn--k or whit-. So get over it people!!!

83. Wow I would be surprised at the amount of ignorant racist comments on here but it was expected. lets hope he gets fired from A&E. Anyone who agrees with him is just as ignorant and stupid as he is. Any whites who use the N-word are racist period!!!! Not all whites are racist just like not all blacks are rappers. But if you don't see him for what he is your just as bad! It doesn't matter what his son did noone ever accidentally says the n-word. He is slime just like the people defending him!

84. #33 I guessun I went to white trash college. I'msa sorry. I guess you had your fun. By the way dumba$$. I am not a DOG supporter. Maybe your reading comprehension is low while my gramatical errors are high. Just a thought you piece of $hit.

85. Dog stated SEVERAL TIMES on the tape that you can't work for him if you date a black person. Dog's problem goes beyond bad publicity since that, to me, sounds like a Federal crime. It sounded like a cell phone conversation, too. That precludes any expectation of privacy. If the cops decide they want him, he's in a heap o' trouble........! Ruff!

86. Nobody should be in fear of a private phone call being used in this manner.
What Dog said to his son should be their business only.
Tucker, his son, is a Class I JERK.
I support Dog and I "get" what he told his son in that phone call.

87. Shelly -

Are you REALLY STUPID ENOUGH TO believe that MOST BLACKS DON'T SPEAK PROPER ENGLISH - MAYBE YOU SHOULD SAY THAT THE 3 YOU KNOW DON'T!!!!!

I an 99% of my LARGE group of FRIENDS and ASSOCIATES speak PROPER ENGLISH at ALL TIMES - my friends and Associates includes - DOCTORS, LAWYERS, ACCOUNTANTS, IT Professionals ... and the list goes on. We HAVE MBA's, CPA'S, MD. MPH's, JD's,.....

So STOP judging ALL BLACKS based upon the 2-3 YOU HAPPEN UPON.... MAYBE YOU SHOULD HANG AROUND A BETTER CLASS OF Folks - BUT I WOULD GUESS THAT BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER.....

88. I don't know what most of you are talking about. I wasn't aware that "black" people were
making a big fuss over this. As a matter of fact, when this story broke, Dog himself
contacted the Rev Al Sharpton to meet with him and asked him to provide guidance,
yada yada yada. If Dog did that on his own, then he must feel or believe that he did
something wrong, so it really doesn't matter what the rest of us think. So why defend
someone who isn't even defending himself? He gave it up.

89. TO BE MEAN, HATEFUL, SPITEFUL,VICIOUS AND CRUEL TO PEOPLE IS SICKENING TO SOCIETY BUT TO BE THAT WAY TOWARDS EACH OTHER IN YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY IS TRAGIC AND HEARTLESS RESULTING IN THEM BECOMING SOCIAL DEVIATES IN LIFE.
