For Duane 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' Chapman, love is in the air once again. It was reported that the 'Dog's Most Wanted' star was dating Francie Frane after becoming a widower due to the death of his wife Beth Chapman. Now, Dog has recently shared a clip of himself on a fishing trip. It appears that Francie shot the video, and in the clip, Dog can be heard referring to Francie as 'babe.'

Almost ten months after Dog's wife, Beth Chapman, passed away, it has been reported that he has been dating 51-year-old Francie Frane. According to People, France is a rancher from Colorado and had also lost her previous spouse Bob to cancer just months before Beth's death.

Dog recently shared a video that seems to have been filmed by Frane on his Twitter. In the video, he is seen casting out a fishing line into a large lake. His new girlfriend Frane can be heard in the audio of the video.

Frane asks Dog if he is going to "catch the big one" to which he answers:

"Let's see yours. Where'd it go? Oh, it floated away."

Frane responded with:

"No it didn't. It's in the basket for everyone to see."

Dog continued to banter with Frane:

"Oh it's gone babe."

As Dog places the fish back in the water, Frane says, "check it out and weep baby." At the end of the 45-second clip, Dog pulls out the fishing net and reveals that he actually did catch a fish. Dog included the hashtag 'social distancing' in his Tweet.

Many fans on Twitter responded to Dog's tweet with how they are happy that the reality star was moving on after Beth's death. Dog's daughter, Lyssa Chapman, 32, posted a picture of Dog with Francie on her Instagram account with the caption, "How cute are these two?"

After some fans criticized Dog's new relationship, his other daughter, Bonnie Champman, 21, left a comment on Lyssa's post:

"Everyone who’s judging my father should sure pray that they never have to lose their loved one and get judged for trying to fill the void. Your opinion is invalid. My mother would’ve wanted him to be happy. Now please shut up and let my dad live in peace."

In an interview with The Sun U.S., Dog said his relationship with Francie is "a miracle." After a few months of the two dating Dog said:

"It's going really good. It's a God relationship because it's just like a miracle. It's a miracle how we met and it's a miracle how great we're getting along. I know that when I start to feel bad about Beth and it's overwhelming, Francie seems to show up and that helps the kids. And I feel that Beth expects her to show up to take care of me. And Bob, Francie's late husband, expects me to be a man and a gentleman and so I am. It's a very real love that we are developing with each other."
