Dog the Bounty Hunter has once again taken over the internet after he posted a picture to his Instagram page. The picture featured not only him but his granddaughter Abbie and his fiancee Francie. The three of them were together celebrating Abbie’s 18th birthday milestone.

Dog captioned the photo, “We love you & we are so proud of you.”

Celebrating with them was Abbie’s mother, Lyssa Chapman who posted her own picture on Instagram and wrote,

“Officially the mother of an ADULT! Happy 18th birthday to the person who made me a Mom. I’m so proud of you. I love you!!! Have Fun and Be Safe.”

Without a doubt, the past few months have been rough on the Chapman family after losing their matriarch, Beth Chapman to throat cancer back in June 2019. Abbie has been vocal on her social media as to the impact her grandmother had on her life. Back in October 2019, on the day that would have been Beth’s birthday, Abbie wrote a heartfelt message for her grandmother and shared with her followers:

“You taught me that a woman can be so much more than what the world wants us to be. You taught me to never give up on what you want from the world. You taught me that family is the most important thing in this world and that family comes in so many different forms. I wish you could be here to see Mady and I grow from the little girls you helped raise to the strong women we are going to be.”

I wish you could be here to see Mady and I grow from the little girls you helped raise to the strong women we are going to be… you taught me to be the best I can and to fight as hard as I can, especially against the people who don’t believe in me.” You taught me so much Grandma and you showed me true strength and love, I’m sorry you’ll never see the full letters we wrote but I think you knew most of this already, Happy Birthday Grandma, we miss you and we love you forever ♥️
