This turn of events comes after a long line of tragedies for the well-loved TV star. His beloved wife Beth Chapman died back in June this year after a two-year battle with cancer. Dog took her death hard, expressing how his family was struggling with it in an interview with People this August:

"Each one copes differently. There’s a few that’s really barely making it," Chapman said. "We don't know what to do. We haven't read, we weren't prepared."

Dog also previously stated that his wife's death had taken his appetite, revealing that he had lost a considerable amount of weight in the weeks following Beth's death. News of his heart emergency, therefore, hit fans and friends hard. However, his official twitter states that Dog is so far comfortable and under good care:

"I can confirm Dog is under doctor's care and is resting comfortably. Thank you for all of your well wishes - keep 'em coming."

Our thoughts and prayers are with Dog and his family. We wish him a speedy recovery!
