At the center of a nearly two weekslong manhunt for an escaped prisoner in southeastern Pennsylvania is Yoda, a dog tactically trained to find people evading apprehension.
in southeastern Pennsylvania brought attention to the searcher who finally subdued Danelo Cavalcante: a tactically trained K-9 named Yoda.
Cavalcante was first bitten on the forehead, then the dog clenched his thigh and held on, said Robert Clark, supervisor of the U.S. Marshals fugitive task force in Philadelphia. That’s when Cavalcante submitted and officers got him in handcuffs. “The process is pretty intricate, and it takes a lot of time,” said Bob Dougherty, the law enforcement training director at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center. “Once it’s a complete process, it works very well; it’s very reliable.”
“Not every dog is going to be able to work with a tactical team,” he said. “Not all dogs will end up being a Yoda.”
