--he goes out of his way to actually help the people he is catching by giving them jobs after they are bailed out again, or watching out for and giving jobs to their teenage children and taking care of their pets. Once they are in the car with him he is actually kind and gentle to them. He lectures and counsels them on the importance of being responsible, drug free, nonviolent to women--to the point that he consistently makes hardened crminals break down and cry. I don't care if he leads a group prayer before they go out on their raids, that is his right and if that gives them a boost and brings them together, so what? (and I'm particularly anti-religion). He is never obnoxious about it, although it did bother me a little to see that he has a picture of * in his office. He is actually a decent human being, it is an extremely interesting, close-knit, empathetic, generous and super-kind family. The way he talks to and brings up the youngest ones (6 years old) says it all. His style is 80s throwback, but where would we be without characters? It is that "character" appeal that makes the show. I like reality shows that give insights into "fringers," people who are NOT bland, ordinary middle-America sitcom dwellers.

He is doing a dirty job that does need to be done. People who jump bail are scum, someone has trusted them and stand to lose big-time by their behavior--not to mention the loss to society of people escaping justice. In many cases it is Dog himself who stands to lose tens of thousands of dollars--there is poetic justice in watching someone have the power to bring closure to that--unlike you and me. If we are ripped off, what can we do about it? It is unfortunate that Mexico has such a law, thus providing a "safe haven" for scum rapists and murderers who are essentially ripping off society by fleeing down there and preying on Mexicans.
