Meet the K9 Who Helped Capture Fugitive Danelo Cavalcante

Yoda, the K9 who subdued escaped Pennsylvania prisoner Danelo Cavalcante, is America's newest hero. Newly released images show Yoda pinning Cavalcante by the legs after biting his scalp. Now, Yoda is joining the ranks of other K9 legends. Cavalcante is being held at SCI Phoenix, a maximum security prison in Pennsylvania. The prison is a $400 million-dollar, state-of-the-art facility that authorities claim is escape-proof. Inside Edition's Steven Fabian has more.

Didn't know the cops had a trained vornskr on the force.
Way to go, Yoda! May the Force be with you. Always.

A good boy, he is. With him, the force is also.

[sonicgalaxy]

That is good train dog. The force has always been with him!🙂

[natalietate]

I like the name of the K-9 of the Star Wars name. May the force be in you, Yoda. As always.

Yoda is main hero of this manhunt and would come in dreams of Cavalcante till his last day on earth...

[Manatayo]

No issues with the "class" photo. They earned it.

What was unethical and inhumane is when that POS stabbed is g/f 34 times killing her.

Soon Yoda is going to train another dog named Luke to become a K-9 Master.

They deserved to be proud of their work & take a photograph when something positive happens. It’s good to be proud of your work & you save the world from bad guys. Everyone be so sensitive now smh

[athenaheralaufeyson]

The photo still kills me lmfao. The way he’s just standing there like a trophy 😂😂😂😂

If you had actually interviewed the people involved, you would know that Yoda initially bit Danelo on his head but since a K9 can't bite and hold a human head he then bit and held on Danelo's lower extremity. The photos you show of Yoda lying on Danelo's feet is after he was commanded to release. He wasn't "pinning" him by the legs. Yoda was ready and waiting in case he was commanded again to bite and hold.

May the Force be with you! You're such a good boy, Yoda!!!

Yoda “Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.”

Hell yeah they should get a group photo together after finally catching him! Who the hell would criticize that after an exhaustive search for a murderer with a firearm?

[PaiviProject]

Amazing job !! Good doggies ❤I am so glad this bad person is back where he belongs !! I think that group picture was well justified.

[monkeycat]

He used the force to subdue stop the escapee😎😎😎

[shanegriffin]

They captured a convicted murderer and people say posing for a photo with him is “inhumane”?

[hanbury]

Good job Yoda! ❤ And great job from all the other officers who staked out to find Canelo

[helgageraldine]

Instead of dreams of escaping, I'm sure that guy will have nightmares of Yoda biting his forehead.

[annal.]

He was like the trophy they finally caught! 😂😂😂 🏆 Showing him off! Kind of wrong, but the picture will go down in history for sure! Lol
