Where Mercy Is Shown, Mercy Is Given

A memoir from the host of Dog the Bounty Hunter, a #1 rated television show which inspired his #1 New York Times–bestselling books.

Considered by many to be the world's greatest bounty hunter, Duane “Dog” Chapman has become famous for capturing fugitives on Dog the Bounty Hunter, his #1 rated show on A&E. But his job doesn't end when he cuffs his man—or woman. Having personally struggled against abuse, addiction, and a life of crime, Dog knows a thing or two about the path that these fugitives cuffed in the back of his car are on. He knows what they need to hear.

“This is your wake up call. You either answer it now, or pay for it later and for the rest of your life. You're being given another shot at things, but only if you take the risk to make the right decision. The choice is yours. What's it going to be, brotha?”

While he is himself a mentor to many, Dog draws strength from the great teachers in his own life to face the surprising and difficult challenges that have come his way. Through hard work, unflinching faith, and the acknowledgment of his own flaws—along with the overwhelming desire to fix those flaws—Dog has been through the fire again and again, and come out the stronger for it.

Revealing, behind-the-scenes looks at Dog's most significant challenges, along with seat-of-your-pants accounts of his most breakneck bounty hunting stories, makes Where Mercy Is Shown, Mercy Is Given a must-read for any fan.
