Dog The Bounty Hunter unveils new face masks in honor of late wife Beth Chapman days after sobbing about her death
DOG the Bounty Hunter unveiled his line of new face masks that pay tribute to his late wife Beth Chapman days after he sobbed over her death.
Duane “Dog” Chapman, 67, announced his store will now carry his and hers masks with “Auntie Beth” getting her own product.
Both masks are black – with one reading “Auntie Knows Best” as a reference to the nickname the reality star was known for by fans.
The covering that honored Beth comes with pink writing and also has a graphic of the show’s signature handcuffs.
Dog proudly displayed his name on the other mask in a white font while also including his silhouette at the center.
The masks can be purchased on the star’s website for $13 separately or $20 together.
After previously releasing a line of the protective face coverings, Dog promises the latest line are “higher quality.”
The launch comes less than a week after the former bail bondsman sobbed on live TV as he said he would have wanted Beth Chapman to move on with a new man if he had died instead.
In a recent interview with Katie Souza, Duane tried to reason with fans who questioned whether he was moving too fast after the death of Beth.
The 67-year-old bounty hunter asked as he held back tears: “Let’s put it like – what if it was Dog that died?
“And what if it was Beth who met a Christian man that spoke in a heavenly language? And loved her as much as I did and owned an airplane? What would I say?
“And what if he said, ‘Dog, you are in Heaven and I would take care of her and I would love her as much as you did.’
“I would say, ‘Beth, you better not lose this one.’ I would say that, of course, fans love Beth – Beth will always be in my heart and Francie by my side.
“She’s not another Mrs. Dog, she’s Francie Chapman.”
Dog has since found love again with his new fiancée, Francie Frane.
Earlier this week, the couple – who reside together in Colorado – went out for a romantic date night dinner.
The reality star uploaded an Instagram image showing him dressed smartly in a black shirt with his signature sunglasses.
He was getting stuck into a coloring section of the Veggie Maze kids’ menu, and looked particularly intent on the task.
Francie, who became engaged to Dog 11 months after Beth passed from cancer, flashed a beaming smile as she looked directly into the camera.

She wore a white top with a patterned jacket on top, and accessorized with a chunky chain necklace.
Dog and Francie have been criticized for dating so soon after Beth’s death, but his family sprung to his defense and support the relationship.
Beth passed in late June 2019 at the age of 51 after sadly losing her battle with throat cancer.
