Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman Steps Out For First Time Following Beth’s Emergency Surgery
It hasn’t been an easy couple of days for Dog the Bounty Hunter star Beth Chapman. She was rushed into emergency surgery on Nov. 28 for a blockage in her throat and shortly after she received even worse news: her cancer had returned. Her husband, Duane Chapman, told In Touch exclusively that he “has been by her side every step of the way.”
Unfortunately, Dog isn’t doing well either. He admitted, “I think I’m in a bad dream and I need to wake up.” It seemed like things were looking up for the happy couple — on Jan. 1, 2018, Beth proudly showed off her scars from surgery on Instagram, and would have been cancer free for almost a year now. On Nov. 28, 2018, Duane stepped out for the first time since Beth’s surgery — check out the pictures below.
