Dog Chapman -- On His Way Back to TV?

Duane "Dog" Chapman looked relaxed and happy, taking a break from his Tour of Contrition '07 for a little R&R last night -- could it be because his show is on its way back on the air?


Sources tell TMZ that the network is very pleased with the progress Dog has made with African-American leaders, but nothing has been decided yet about the return of "Dog the Bounty Hunter."

Meanwhile, we spotted Dog kicking back -- and throwing some shakas -- at a housewarming party for designer Christian Audigier. Chill, brother!

31. please let mr.dog have is show back. i like to watch him and his family catch those bad people. just because they dont have any guns or weapons, they are still bad. even though a group of perhaps 6- 5th graders could tackle the same bail jumpers,i am convinced none of those 5 graders could sport a mullet like he can...plus they couldn't have a wife either.and she is half the show.and i mean half the show.well at least half my television screen.please a&e give mr. dog and his wife one more chance.after all the justice system gave mr. dog and mrs beth a second chance..pretty please with sugar on top

32. I think all of you are forgetting ONE VERY IMPORTANT FACT HERE.

WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

I don't care whether ANYONE agrees with what Dog said or not. Doesn't matter if I think its offensive, or if YOU think its offensive. HE HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY IT. Its absolutely ridiculous that the man has to keep kissing a** to the "black leaders" so that he gets his livelihood back. WE HAVE FREE SPEECH whether anyone agrees with what he says or not.

PEOPLE - THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE OF RACISM. This should be an issue of FREE SPEECH and how its slowly being TAKEN AWAY. I'm actually surprised that Carlos Mencia hasn't jumped on this and stood up for Dog's right to FREE SPEECH.. even if we don't agree with what was said.

FREE SPEECH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIRST AMENDMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

37. Dog placed A&E in a very bad position, where they're darned if they do and darned if they don't. I wouldn't blame them one bit if they decided to cancel Dog altogether. If another channel wants to take a chance on him, that's their business. At least they'd be going into the contract with open eyes, rather than being sabotaged like A&E was.

38. this was a personal conversation recorded with out doggs knowledge or approval to me there should be no controversy and the person who recorded the call should be demonized!

39. Keep him off the Air.. Not Because of the N word, But Because His Shows were Sickning Before the N Word .

40. Of course he will return to television. There will always be an audience for pigs like this and there will always be a network more than happy to snap him up. Bill Maher is still working even though his show was yanked after he called the 9/11 hijackers courageous and made fun of Steve Irwin just a few days after his tragic death. Don I mus is back to work after calling female college athletes nappy-headed ho's. These people don't disappear, they just pop up out of another hole.

42. Maybe if you actually lived here, you might have a different perspective. Dog is for Dog. His place on Queen Ema St. is closed up tight, he is desparate to get back on TV. That house in Portlock isn't free, neither are all the black Tahoes and gear.

I guess the bad guys he is so adamently chasing all over the islands are on hold while he goes about his tour of kissing as much ass as possible. They are not the super nice people they attempt to portray, they wouldn't give a Hawaiian the time of day unless it was on TV.

43. We all know what he thinks of Afro Americans. It's funny to now see him reduced to kissing all of our black *sses.

44. When you ask if I forgive Dog it is really confusing for me to answer....you see the problem is I didn't see anything wrong with what he did in the first place....so how do you forgive somebody for something that they didn't do?

45. If you support the Dog go to www.petitiononline.com/dogontv to sign the petition to keep him on TV!!!
