That’s Dog to You, Sir
Duane Lee Chapman never legally changed his name to Dog, but he made it clear that it’s the name he prefers. Why? Well, for one thing, it keeps his legal name out of the media and also keeps some scandalous stuff under wraps. The name Duane Chapman is tied to divorces, arrests and convictions, and 12 kids (or 13, depending on who you ask) that he’s allegedly fathered. That said, you get why he prefers his nickname. Googling “dog” will turn up far more innocent results.

Duane has revealed rather recently that he’s been diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism. The 66-year-old finds himself battling his own potentially fatal health problems… just three months after his wife, Beth, died of cancer.
