As Duane Chapman pushes on with his apology tour he made a stop at Larry King and I actually got a chance to catch the show and watch Dog and Larry chat about the tape.  Larry re-played the tape and talked about how much Tucker had sold the tape for to the National Enquirer.   Dog sat through it all, I felt for him.  I can’t imagine having to sit through something that embarassing - over and over and have to replay that whole conversation over and over - in front of everyone - all very public.

No, he shouldn’t have said what he did.

But man he’s been put out to dry.

One thing that did hit home for me was that they were running a poll on Larry King on whether or not Dog should lose his show after hearing those comments.  At the time 66% on his site said “No”.  As of today, on this site,  242 votes and an 88% support vote that Dog should not lose his job.

Dog if you’re reading this - use our poll to get your show back on A&E television!

There are petitions out there to get Dog’s show back on the air, and I think Dog is doing the right thing in getting help for his anger.  In his conversation with Larry King, Dog explained how he now realizes that some of the words he used - those swear words - instead of intimidating were actually hurting words.

Coming from Dog - I’d run more with intimidating… but you know he’s taking the time to stop the swearing.  Learning to make a different choice.  I have to give it to him for trying.  It’s hard to get out of a habit like that.

I really hope he gets his show back.  If you’d like to support Duane “Dog” Chapman and see that he gets his show back on A&E - drop A&E a message - fill out an online petition to get his show back.

Go Dog.
