Robyn over at Orato, brings news of Dog apologizing for the racial slur that was was all over the news yesterday.

“Duane “Dog” Chapman finds himself in hot water after it is leaked that he used the “N-word” in a heated, private telephone conversation with his son. In this exclusive statement, Dog apologizes to his fans, saying he will do whatever it takes to restore balance. Chapman’s show Dog The Bounty Hunter is A&E’s number one rated show, and his book You Can Run But You Can’t Hide went number one on the non-fiction Best Seller’s list. This latest infraction will once again test his fans’ loyalty and his ability to redeem himself in crisis.”

Duane “Dog” Chapman explains the tirade,

My sincerest, heartfelt appologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language. I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation. It was completely taken out of context.

…I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world. I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused.
