<\/p>\n
The K-9 that subdued escaped prisoner Danelo Cavalcante<\/strong> — to end a 2-week long manhunt — had a massive area to search, but one law enforcement expert says the pup is the perfect officer for the job.<\/p>\n Michael Gould<\/strong> used to train K-9’s for NY police departments, and he joined us Wednesday on “TMZ Live” to explain the training thsese 4-legged officers go through to locate an escapee — and he says Cavalcante’s capture played out almost perfectly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Michael says dogs go through a lot of training to learn to pick up on a human scent, and he tells us why Cavalcante waiting out in the woods for an extended period made it possible for the pup to sniff him out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We also talked with Michael about the potential of a dog subduing a suspect like Cavalcante, and turning to deadly force if its trainer isn’t nearby.<\/p>\n While he thinks it’s natural for people to resist while being chomped on, a simple voice command from the trainer could call off a dog.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we reported, Cavalcante, who is a convicted murderer, was arrested<\/strong> Wednesday morning by SWAT teams and a Border Patrol Tactical Unit in Pennsylvania after 14 days of hunting. The K-9 left a minor bite wound on his scalp while he tried to break free.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cavalcante scaled a wall at Chester County Prison at the end of August — climbing over razor wire and running across a roof before jumping to the ground below to make his escape.<\/p>\n
