The post, which showed Duane and the company’s representatives posing for the camera, was captioned:
“Thank you to our friends at Advanced Armor Technologies. They came by last week, to give us some amazing custom bullet proof vests, to help keep us safer, on the hunt!”
After his wife’s death, Dog went on a much-needed hiatus which a source claimed has made shooting new episodes of his show impossible.
Soon after the post was uploaded, fans of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” star took to the comments to share their excitement as one person stated that it was a “wonderful gesture” from the company.

Fans have remained supportive of the TV personality since he lost his wife, Beth, in June 2019.
It would be recalled that Beth had died after a battle with throat cancer and many failed attempts at chemotherapy.
According to The New York Times, the “Dog and Beth: On the Hunt” star had eventually called it quits on chemotherapy because she wanted to “die in my boots.”
Throughout her final season on “Dog’s Most Wanted,” viewers continued to notice the changes in her body as she lost weight and her hair.
Despite that, Duane and his crew continued to give the fugitives they were after, a run for their money. However, reality set soon in when Beth fell into a coma and had to be taken off life support.
After his wife’s death, Dog went on a much-needed hiatus which a source claimed has made shooting new episodes of his show impossible.

According to Pop Culture, the 67-year-old has dedicated his time to self-exploration and grief management.
Dog has also reportedly taken up a few hobbies, including fishing, which he spends most of his time doing.
