BETH'S LEGACY

Bonnie, who couldn't hold the tears while talking to Frazier, claimed that she learned how to be determined and passionate from her mother, and believes she has grown into a mini Beth.

Beth and Dog's youngest son, Garry, revealed how grateful he was for how his mother raised him, for making him the man that he is today and always being there to support him.

Dog jokingly said that Garry was called "Little Beth" and that he was her favorite out of all their children, even though she had the same love for every single one of them.

As for Dog, who shed a few tears while Bonnie was talking, opened up about how much of Beth would be shown in the upcoming show "Dog's Most Wanted," a spinoff of "Dog the Bounty Hunter."

The 66-year-old admitted that seeing some of the footage made him cry a lot, but also found it therapeutic because, while most people have pictures of their loved ones, he has Beth still alive on the show.
