About this audiobook
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 number-one-rated show on AE.
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-and he has a good idea of the bad news they'll find at the end of it. As someone who has succeeded in beating the odds and finding a way to live on the right side of the law, Dog also knows what the person in the backseat needs to hear in order to straighten out his or her life.
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-listen for any fan.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read this book in 2 days because I just couldn't put it down! I've been a long time fan of The Chapman's and it was nice to get a more personal in depth look of their lives/events from Dog. For me, this books only further proves that no matter who you are or how well you are known, doesn't mean that your struggles are any less real than someone else's. We are all the same and everyone puts on their pants one leg at a time, just like the next person. If there is one thing I can personally take away from this memoir, it's that a little heart and forgiveness can go a long way. At the end of day it is all about how you choose to handle the situation you are in. I would highly recommend this book if you are in the mood for a gripping, page turning, truthful but at times humorous read!
