Pineapple Drive To Save Dog The Bounty Hunter

Fruit can be a powerful statement.

Each child will attach a letter to a pineapple and send it to A&E. With Dog's growing number of fans we want to let the world know we will not back down.

As Fans of Dog the Bounty Hunter and Duane "Dog" Chapman we feel that we have no choice but to fight for what we believe in and that's for Dog. We sprang into action the moment news of him being pulled from A&E's television schedule hit the airways. This never should have happened. There is one thing that no one counted on: the fans. We are many and loyal to Dog, no matter what. All we want is our Dog back on television where he belongs so his message of second chances can be heard. That's why we're sending thousands of pineapples to A&E.

The idea of sending pineapples to A&E came about because we knew that A&E may not listen to phone calls or emails. The only thing that they would get noticed was physical action. By any means necessary is the only thing that we knew would bring Dog the Bounty Hunter back to television.

The message of sending one item to a network has succeeded in the past. The biggest example of this is the television show Jericho, which was to be taken off air. A grassroots network arranged for peanuts to be sent to the network. They succeeded in sending 20 tons of peanuts to the network to make a statement.

Jericho is still on television now because of this. We fans and boycotters feel that our love for Dog requires a huge statement as well.

The one time that i was able to talk to a&e i was called a bitch and they hung up on me. Since words didn't work, we think pineapples being sent to A&E will make a statement. They get enough fruit and they will get the point. The schools and or parents that wish to join will be responsible for shipping.

In our efforts to bring back the show, we have talked to fans globally as well, but this effort needs to go further than that. Everyone needs to take part in this. We are trying to get schools across the country involved with things like pineapple drives and letter drives to prove our point.

As for what Dog said, it's a word and the more we let it affect us, the more the people that use it in a negative way. The children want their hero back. Each child will attach a letter to a pineapple and send it to A&E.
