Duane "Dog" Chapman isn't just busy yanking criminals off the street -- he's fighting the politicians trying to put them back on the street!

Dog is leading the fight in Colorado against a state Senate bill he and the bill's critics say will put bail bondsmen out of business -- and flood society with criminals. 

“This time I’m not barking. I’m here to take a real bite out of crime,” Dog told RadarOnline from Colorado. “I’m here to stop tax funded bonds
and return bail bonds to the private sector where it belongs.”
