Bounty hunts and arrests segue into the rides to jail, during which Dog and his team show compassion and strongly counsel the fugitives to start over, leaving behind drugs and/or crime to become dependable members of their families and society. Viewers are taken along as Chapman and his family/team locate and arrest clients who have become fugitives by breaking the terms of their bail agreements. Viewers responded to the family's ability to overcome their own criminal histories to live law-abiding and Christian faith-based lives. Dog the Bounty Hunter captured an audience immediately by drawing viewers into the interaction of Dog and his family/team, mixing street smarts, romance, arguments, teamwork, adrenaline-laced arrests, and a philosophy of hope and second chances. Both shows are produced for A&E by Hybrid Films, a New York-based production company. The program spun off from Chapman's appearance on the show Take This Job, a program about people with unusual occupations.
Justin Bihag (son of Beth's friend) also helps out during Season 1 and occasional later episodes. In Season 2, Dog's teenage daughter, "Baby" Lyssa Chapman returns home and becomes a member of the bounty-hunting team. Dog is joined by his business partner and wife, Beth Smith Chapman his grown sons Duane Lee Chapman, II and Leland Chapman, and his "brother," Tim "Youngblood" Chapman (despite having the same last name, Dog and Tim are not biologically related).
