Summary

For two weeks, the country closely followed the manhunt for escaped convict, Danelo Cavalcante. Finally, on September 13th, authorities were able to close in on Cavalcante and arrest him, all thanks to one four-legged member: K9 Yoda. When the armed Cavalcante attempted to flee, Yoda was released, allowing law enforcement to successfully apprehend the convict without any shots fired or injuries to officers. Police dogs are one of law enforcement's greatest assets, but what goes into the making of a K9 unit? Retired Navy SEAL and Special Warfare Operator James Hatch founded Spike's K9 Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to training police dogs and providing them with proper care and resources. James discusses what inspired him to establish the fund and what goes into training dogs such as Yoda to become such skilled partners.
