Duane “Dog” Chapman and his wife Beth carved out their own niche in the world of reality television programming and have amassed quite the fan base. Even after their 8-year run on A&E came to a close, folks wanted to see more of this iconic pair in action, and CMT inked a spin-off deal with them for a series called Dog and Beth: On the Hunt!
Please say your prayers for Beth right now thank you love you

But on June 22nd, 2019, Dog reached out to fans requesting they pray for Beth as she was struggling. Later, it was revealed she was put into a medically-induced coma.
Just days after that news broke and tributes flooded the internet in an outpouring of support for her, she passed away following an unexpected downturn in her battle with throat cancer.
