This is the very first episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter. We get some great info into the life of Dog Chapman, while he is on the trail of Floyd Chapman. Dog is less than pleased that he has to hunt a Chapman.

With some fighting between Beth and Dog, they lay the foundation of what is to come in the series. There is always a hunt and a chase, but Dog always gets his man. Dog is always trying to help the fugitive come out better then when he went in. I have to wonder how much good it will do.

Overall a good episode.
