They began dating in March 2020 which was 10 months after his wife Beth Chapman died in June 2019 after complications from throat cancer.
As Francie had also lost her husband to cancer, Dog looked for spiritual guidance as he explained: ‘Francie’s husband passed away over three years ago, Beth passed away over two years ago, and I felt very bad about even wanting to have someone else after Beth.
‘And then when I went to the Bible, the Genesis, and found out how Adam got Eve, as I was going to find the exact story, I saw the scripture that says, “God does not want a man to be alone.”
