Dog the Bounty Hunter wants to catch Brian Laundrie so he can resume his HONEYMOON after ditching it to go on manhunt
DOG the Bounty Hunter has said he wants to catch Brian Laundrie in part so that he can resume his honeymoon with his new wife Francie Frane.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the 68-year-old reality star opened up about how he interrupted his honeymoon when he heard that Brian had gone on the run after his fiancé Gabby Petito went missing - and then later turned up dead - last month.
“Dog, Dog, Dog the ‘D’ is in the sky,” Dog said, as he grew more emotional.
He said the pull to jump into the search was just too much.
“Then we came down here and I said to Francie ‘Honey, it's eight hours away. Honey, I need it so bad. My skin is crawling, I'm getting goose bumps. I'm having those dreams FREEZE I GOT YOU BOY! I’m having those kinds of dreams Francie.”
Despite being on his honeymoon he decided that he had to join in and Francie agreed, telling Dog: ‘Well honey, lets go get that boy.”
“So three or four days we were going and we were full of mosquitoes and gnats we see snakes and alligators,” and Francie told him that this was no longer a honeymoon.
Dog said that he promised Francie that once Brian is caught- they will continue on their honeymoon.
“So the one of the last reasons that I want to catch him- so I could continue my honeymoon. I hope that's not any disrespect to anybody involved in this case because it's terrible, but that's where we stand now, in our honeymooning.”
The that running "makes you look guilty" after the autopsy results were revealed.
"His best decision now would be to turn himself in,” Dog exclusively told The Sun, adding that "need to be doing more to signal Brian to stop running."
“The coroner’s statement has established a timeline that looks worse for Brian Laundrie," Dog added.
"They need to be doing more to signal Brian to stop running," Dog said.
It comes after an autopsy report revealed that Gabby Petito was before her body was found.

Following the results of the autopsy, Brian Laundrie's family attorney, Steve Bertolino, released a statement saying: "Gabby Petito’s death at such a young age is a tragedy.
It wasn't clear if Tuesday's determination might lead to additional charges against Brian Laundrie, who is considered a person of interest in her disappearance and remains unaccounted for.
LAUNDRIE RETURNED HOME ALONE
Brian quietly returned home to Florida alone on September 1, failing to alert police or Gabby’s family that she was missing.
He reportedly acted "without a care in the world" upon his return, neighbors said, mowing the front yard and enjoying idyllic bike rides with his mom.
Gabby was eventually reported missing by her mother in New York on September 11. That came after 10 days of allegedly being stonewalled by Brian and his parents about where her daughter was, she said.
Laundrie is not currently considered a suspect in Gabby's murder but is considered a person of interest.
GABBY'S DEATH WAS 'BRUTAL'
Last week, Dog said that as he claims the final results were withheld because her death was more "brutal."
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, the 68-year-old claimed that the Teton County coroner’s office showed “mercy” to the Petito family by “slowly” revealing more information.
“I have never seen the findings of an autopsy take this long to announce.” Dog said.
"I know that my daughter was killed at the same age and for a few weeks, they didn't tell me that the car actually rolled over on my daughter’s skull.
"I remember these exact pieces of time when Barbara Katy passed away so I’m glad I didn’t hear that right away.
