Radar Online is reporting that Dog the Bounty Hunter, AKA Duane Chapman, arrived at UCLA medical centre this past Saturday with extreme leg pain, a common indicator of a blood clot behind the knee. The injury was suspected to be a by-product of (we’re not kidding) Dog kicking in too many doors on the job.

Upon close medical examination, it was determined that Dog’s muscle separated from the bone and caused massive internal bleeding at the site. Naturally, the injury had been worsening with time and had come to be too excruciating to bear.

Ew! We’re pretty sure you shouldn’t wait a week when you’re in that much pain! If medical science has taught us anything, it’s that pain is the body’s way of saying “something isn’t right here.” So, Dog, when your knee became unbearably swollen this weekend, we’re pretty sure your body was trying to say something along the lines of “SWEET WRATH OF ZEUS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION BEFORE YOU DIE A TWISTED HORRIBLE DEATH.”

Thankfully, Dog was discharged after it was decided that he was not at risk for developing a clot. It’s probable that he will return to the hospital later this week to receive more treatment.

Let that be a lesson, kiddos! If you’re going to kick in doors for a living, respond accordingly when your kicking leg swells to the size of a small Eurasian nation.

Duane Chapman, best known as the star of A&E’s “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” is working on an agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office that would keep him out of jail, south of the U.S. border.

Chapman is facing extradition to Mexico for wrongfully arresting a fugitive rapist, Max Factor heir Andrew Luster. The 2003 arrest allegedly violated Mexico’s anti-bounty-hunting laws.

Along with his son Leland, 29, and unrelated partney Timothy Chapman, 41, the 53-year-old Dog faces charges of illegal detention and conspiracy. The three were arrested on September 14 by U.S. marshals, but were released on $300,000 U.S. bail after spending the night in prison.

According to Chapman’s attorney, Brook Hart, the TV star is offering to make a public apology, pay a sizeable fine and make a large charitable donation to clear his name.

Hart says that Chapman and co. chased down Luster in Mexico after receiving “flawed legal advice.”

Luster was returned to California and is currently serving a 124-year jail sentence for sexually assaulting three women.
