Dog the Bounty Hunter adds $ 10,000 as reward for Brian Laundrie’s arrest

Dog the bounty hunterputs his money where his mouth is – he wants Brian Laundry so badly found, TMZ learned he was adding $ 10,000 in rewards for information leading to Brian’s arrest.

A representative of Dog the Bounty Hunter tells us that… Dog, France and the Chapman family add $ 10,000 to the permanent award. We are told that Dog and his family are determined to end Gabby Petito, and they hope that increasing the reward will help find out where Brian is.

Prior to Dog’s donation, the prize money was $ 170,000, much of which was donated by individuals supporting the Petito family.

As we reported … last week Dog joined the nationwide manhunt for Brian – and earlier this week he cops alerted to a possible observation. Dog and his team are currently on a remote island off the coast of Florida looking for Brian.

Dog had said he felt he was about to capture him, but the island’s terrain has slow motion the research.

The dog’s gesture comes on the heels of new images from bodycam of a second police officer showing Gabby telling a Utah cop Brian hit her during their Aug.12 argument, but she walked back and said instead he grabbed her face after that she hit him first.
