Ep 33. Year of the Dog

Dog The Bounty Hunter is a popular American reality television series that follows the tough and witty bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman and his family as they capture fugitives across Hawaii and mainland United States.

Season 3 Episode 33 titled "Year of the Dog" begins with Dog and his team receiving a tip about a fugitive named Lamar, who is wanted for theft. Dog tracks down Lamar's girlfriend, who reveals that he just left for Atlanta and will be back in a week. However, Dog isn't willing to wait for a week and decides to take immediate action.

In the meantime, Dog ropes his son Leland and nephew Justin into a friendly competition, where Leland and Justin select teams to see who can capture more fugitives in a day. Dog decides to join the competition as well and splits up his team with Leland, Beth, and himself on one team and Justin and Tim on the other.

The competition gets heated as both teams capture a multitude of fugitives, but Leland's team ends up winning by capturing an extra fugitive as well as successfully raising the bail bond money. As a prize, Dog takes Leland and Beth zip lining, but the fun is short-lived as they get an urgent call from their informant.

Lamar, the fugitive they were after, has been spotted in Denver, Colorado. They immediately book a flight and head out to Denver to catch Lamar. Upon arrival, Dog's team quickly starts tracking down the fugitive, but it becomes clear that Lamar is not alone. He is with his girlfriend, who is also a fugitive, and they have numerous other convicts with them.

With the odds against them, Dog and his team formulate a detailed plan to capture Lamar and his associates safely. They begin by waiting outside the motel where Lamar is staying. Once the team spots him, they move in quickly and manage to catch him off-guard.

With Lamar in their custody, the team moves on to capture his girlfriend, who is holed up in a hotel. They breach the hotel room and catch her with ease. However, their work isn't over yet, as they still need to catch the other escaped convicts who are on the run with Lamar.

Dog's team springs into action once again, and with their superior tracking skills, they manage to find the other convicts. They successfully capture all the fugitives and get them to jail, putting an end to their criminal activities.

Overall, the episode highlights Dog and his team's dedication and determination to bring fugitives to justice, no matter where they are or who they are with. The competition between the team members adds an element of fun to the episode, but ultimately, the focus is on the work they do and the impact they have on making the world a safer place.
