Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapmanis continuing to honor his wifeBeth Chapmanseven months after her death.
“The last picture Garry Boy took w/ his Mother !!! Happy Birthday Son Love You …Dad !!” Dog, 66, captioned the shot.
Beth, who wasdiagnosed with stage II throat cancerin September 2017, died on June 26 at the age of 51. Beth and Dog had four children together: Garry, 18, Bonnie, 20, Dominic, 34, and Cecily, 26 (Beth’s daughter with her ex-husband whom Duane adopted).
In an interview withPEOPLE Nowin August, Dog admitted that some of their kids are“barely” making itwithout their mom.
“Each one copes differently, there is a few that really barely making it,” Dog said. “We don’t know what to do. We haven’t read, we weren’t prepared. I lost my mother first, and when my mom passed away, I’m like, ‘I wish dad would have died first, you know, ’cause I love my mommy.’ So I went to them and said, ‘I’m so sorry that I didn’t die first and mom did.’ “
“And they were like, ‘Yeah dad, why?’ ” Dog added. “So I was like, ‘Oh my god, I know what that feels like, I should’ve been the one. The guy goes first.’ “

Dog said that while the children are contributing at home with what they can, most of the responsibilities have still fallen on his shoulders. “It’s not been that long. They are helping cook, because Beth was a fantastic cook,” he said.
An emotional Dog added, “I am doing their laundry, I’m vacuuming, making my own bed. So I don’t wanna lie, they do nothing. They’re kids. … It’s just, ‘Dad’s there, he can do it.’ “
Although Dog said in an OctoberPEOPLE Nowinterview that he wasnowhere near ready to date again, rumors have begun to swirl that he is dating longtime friendMoon Angellafter he shared an Instagram selfie of the two together.
