It was shocking enough that Dog ended up getting married two years ago. But now, the real truth about his wife has been exposed. And it’s crazier than you might think.
Kevin Frazier of Entertainment Tonight sat down with Dog and Francie Frane shortly after they met. Kevin asked Dog to introduce him to Francie. Dog’s confession in that TV interview caused fans to throw major shade at him.
On September 2, 2021, Dog got married for the sixth time. According to Page Six, plenty of family drama went down behind the scenes. But the drama spilled over onto social media when Dog shared National Enquirer photos of his wedding to Francie on Instagram.
A follower commented: “Never gonna be another Beth.” Shockingly, other commenters asked, “Why is she trying to look like Beth,” and “Don’t you want to be different than Beth?”
Dog responded to the haters, and what he said was crazy. The first thing he did was blast all his critics on social media.
Dog wrote: “Some of you are saying she is trying to look like Beth.” Then, Dog made a list of how Francie is different.
He wrote that Beth had “platinum blonde” hair and alleged that Francie is a “natural blonde.” Dog wrote that Beth was 5’4, and Francie was 5’10.
But the measurements didn’t stop there. Shockingly, Dog even compared Beth’s weight to Francie’s when he wrote that Beth was 160 lbs and Francie weighed 135 lbs.
Dog also said that Beth had brown eyes while Francie had blue eyes. He warned, “Just like Beth, watch what you say about Francie, got it?”
Dog’s Oldest Daughter Approves of Francie
Dog sounded pretty sure of himself when comparing his late wife and new wife, but is Francie really just controlling him behind the scenes? Sources with inside knowledge claim that Dog has become super-religious because of Francie.
When their relationship went public, Dog tried to set the record straight on how he got Francie to go out with him. Allegedly, Francie only agreed if Dog went to church with her.
Hollywood Life alleged that Dog’s oldest surviving daughter, Lyssa, approved of Francie. Lyssa said that Dog and Francie “go to church three times a week, and Dad is trying to give up smoking.” Lyssa also claimed: “She is a good woman for my dad.”

But inside sources claim that there’s still a lot of drama between Dog and his daughter Bonnie, Beth’s biological child.
When critics threw shade at Dog for getting engaged to Francie so quickly, it was shocking that Bonnie initially came to his defense. She wrote on Instagram that Dog had been through so much this past year without her mother.
Bonnie added: “It’s been extremely difficult to see one parent pass and the other so intent on following.” She said, “My father deserves to be happy.”
Bonnie Exposed Francie and Dog
But E! News Online reported in August 2021 that Dog and Francie had not invited Bonnie or her younger sister, Cecily, to their wedding. You won’t believe who told Bonnie that she wasn’t coming.
TMZ talked to Bonnie about the wedding snub, and Bonnie also discussed a conspiracy theory on social media. Bonnie wrote on Facebook that she’d received a text from Francie, and allegedly, Francie’s text confirmed why Bonnie wasn’t invited to the wedding.
Bonnie believed she got snubbed because she’d chosen to participate in social justice and BLM protests. She had also accused Dog of racism in a shocking social media post – although Dog has denied her allegations.

But Bonnie’s allegations didn’t end with racism. This sounds unbelievable, but Bonnie even accused her dad of cheating on her mom and threatening physical harm. Bonnie wrote, in part: “I will no longer back down.”
She also directed serious allegations at Francie. She claimed that Francie had gotten COVID-19 in December 2020 but was still flying to “speaking events knowing she had COVID.” Bonnie also stated that Francie “didn’t seem to care about the thousands of people she could have infected.”
Dog released a statement to E! News denying all of Bonnie’s allegations, and he accused Bonnie of making a misguided attempt to derail their wedding. Although Dog admitted to E! News: “I’m not perfect and have made some mistakes.”
Francie Looks Unrecognizable Since Marrying Dog
Francie claimed from the beginning that she and Dog “understood the pain that the other one was feeling” because they had both lost their spouses. They “helped each other stand up.”
But being Dog’s wife has helped Francie in a few other ways. Even though many of Dog’s fans and followers threw shade at Dog for marrying again after Beth, Francie’s Instagram followers grew to over 47,000 after she became Dog’s sixth wife.

Francie had insisted that she didn’t know who Dog was before she married him. She’s making up for lost time with gushing tributes to Dog on social media like “This Is My Man: From ExCon To Icon, The Man The Myth The Legend, Dog The Bounty Hunter, I am madly in love with you!!”
In March 2023, Francie and Dog appeared on the Faith With Katie podcast, hosted by Katie Souza. The first thing about their podcast appearance was how different Francie looked in 2023.
The U.S. Sun went as far as to say that Francie looks unrecognizable now. There was also a recent Instagram photo of Dog and Francie in their article, and while Dog looks like he’s frowning behind his sunglasses, Francie has a pretty interesting smile.
Francie and Dog were celebrating their second anniversary, and the photo shows her with sleek, straightened hair. Francie also wore a piercing on her upper lip, which was new.
Dog and Francie Are Working on Several Upcoming Projects
The Naples Daily News reported another side of the story in March 2023. Naples Daily News said that Francie and Dog were moving to Marco Island in Florida. Katie had mentioned on the podcast that Francie and Dog were her new next-door neighbors.
According to Francie, Dog wasn’t used to cold Colorado winters after living in Hawaii, so they decided on Florida. She claimed they were heavily involved with “various churches throughout Naples.”
Francie also discussed an important project that she and Dog are allegedly working on called the “Houses of Bounty.” They are reportedly purchasing five acres of land in Naples to build houses for women in need.
Shockingly, Francie said that she’s been in that situation before. Francie alleged that she was physically harmed in two previous relationships.
She claimed that “amazing people” finally helped her “get a place to live” and helped her “start getting into counseling and start getting some healing.” Now that they’re living in Marco Island, Francie said: “It is my passion and my heart to be able to do that for other women.”
According to Francie, Dog is working on a “brand new book and a podcast” that he wants to call “Dogcast.” Francie believes that God brought her into Dog’s life “to help him.”
She said: “I didn’t realize at first that it was this.” She claimed that God is “using us to change people’s lives. It was this love story that God brought us together.”
