"You may think you know Dog the Bounty Hunter. Think again. This time, I'm writing my story-my way." Within Nine Lives and Counting, Duane "Dog" Chapman not only offers fresh perspective on well-known life events but also ventures into behind-the-scenes territory and backstories never shared publicly. This book sheds new light on: * memories of the painful events that shaped the author's childhood* the surprising hope he found in prison* triumphs and failures from his days as a single dad* lessons learned from his job as a vacuum-cleaner salesman* his story of learning to bounty hunt* and many other highs and lows from his life.
