He pleaded with his fans on Twitter late Saturday night to ‘please say your prayers for Beth right now.’

The Chapmans rose the ranks of reality television with their hit show based around the family bail bond business based in downtown Honolulu.
Viewers caught a small glimpse at the intricate world of bounty hunting, with Dog at the helm as the family sought out and arrested people who broke terms of their bail agreements.
The A&E network first picked up the show in August 2004 and canceled the series after eight seasons in May 2012.
The power couple starred in a spin-off series, Dog and Beth: On the Hunt in August 2015, and a two-hour special called Dog and Beth: Fight of Their Lives just recently in November.
