Duane “Dog” Chapman’s private phone conversation, in which he used the N-word repeatedly, was taped and sold to The National Enquirer by his son, Tucker, according to the television bounty hunter’s attorney.

Attorney Brook Hart told The Associated Press that Dog’s son, Tucker, sent the recording to the tabloid for “a lot of money.”

The reported amount Tucker sold his white-sheeted daddy for is $15,000.

“I guess because of whatever level of anger he had of his father, he felt the need to express it in that manner,” Hart said.
