The dog is in the house. Or he’s at least looking for one.

Duane “Dog” Chapman, whose popular reality television show “Dog the Bounty Hunter” is back on the air after a six-month suspension, is now on the hunt for a new home.

Chapman and his wife Beth have looked at several multi-million dollar properties in the east Honolulu area in recent weeks, local real estate people said.

The Chapmans own a home in Denver but rent in Hawaii, where they plan to raise their two young children, said Mona Wood, Chapman’s spokeswoman.

“Here is home for them,” said Wood. “They really want to find a long-term” residence.

In November, A&E Television Network suspended Chapman’s show -- one of its highest rated -- after Chapman used the n-word when referring to his grown son Tucker's African-American girlfriend. The private call had been recorded and Chapman apologized.

A&E announced last month that it would resume the show’s fifth season on July 16 and Chapman has promise to watch his words.

The new season includes a “swear jar” at Chapman’s Da Kine Bail Bonds on Queen Emma Street to which Chapman has to contribute each time he swears.
