    S8:E11

    After releasing the second part of his autobiography, Dog and his family traveled across America, and this very special episode offers an intimate portrait of both the public and private moments of that journey. The plan was to promote the new book, but the trip soon turned into something much more for the Chapman family and their fans. Among the thousands of admirers greeting Dog and Beth at each stop, for some meeting Dog and Beth was their last dying wish. Others came to receive advice, hope and affirmation. Parents brought their troubled teens; many came to share stories of how Dog had inspired them to turn their lives around. As the book tour progressed, it quickly transformed into a crusade, a mission to help and honor those who struggle everyday to overcome the challenges that life has thrown in their way. It would also change Dog and Beth, and before they were done they would offer their public more than just compassion and wise words.
