Is Duane "Dog" Chapman moving on, seven months after the death of his wife, Beth Chapman? The Dog’s Most Wanted star fueled speculation he's seeing family friend, Moon Angell. Over the weekend, Dog, 66, shared a photo of the two of them writing, "Thank you MOON !!!!"

However, a source tells People there is nothing romantic going on.

"Moon has been a family friend to Beth and Dog for years," the insider claims. "Since Beth’s death, she has stepped in to help Dog in his time of need. There will never be another Beth."

Dog's 32-year-old daughter, Lyssa, is not convinced. On Monday, Lyssa claimed Angell moved her clothes into the family home, replacing Beth's items. Lyssa also alleged that Angell only met her family by dating her brother first.

Lyssa concluded by writing her dad is a "grown ass man," but that she won't go "down in history as a person who supported this."

This isn't the first time Lyssa has sparred with Angell. Last month, she called her a "disgusting woman" while responding to a report that Angell is dating Dog.

When Angell defended herself in since-deleted tweets, Lyssa responded, "I know you don’t know this. But he’s my dad you dummy. Riding is coat tail. B**** please. Lol. You’re dumb. Keep talking s*** about his baby and see how far that gets you."

In an interview with People Now in October, Dog said he’s not ready to date.

"Not that I have, but you know, it’s not worth it," he shared. "I don’t want to tell the whole story about my mom, my dad and my life and all that stuff again to a new person. Not yet."

While he said he's open to love again, he will never remarry.

"What deal we said is I will never take 'Beth' off my chest, I have her name here. And I will never get married," he said. "And she said to me, 'We are human, OK?' And probably the same thing I’d say to her: 'I know you’re gonna have a boyfriend, I hope you have 10, but don’t go fricking marry one, and say those words. Don’t you dare do that.' I would say that, and she did say that to me."

Dog also said he's not ready to rush into physical intimacy. "Sex is a thing like almost in the past right now," he explained. "I’m not having it and I don’t care. It’s weird."

Beth passed away in June after a battle with cancer at age 51.
