The adorable outtakes from the photo shoot are going viral because of Kenobi’s impromptu demonstration of attention.

In the photos, instead of posing for the camera, Kenobi gives Knach a kiss on the cheek.

He licked his handler’s cheek and nearly knocks his hat off.

It seems that Kenobi just playfully warming up for his serious pose and after a few more pictures, Kenobi looked directly at the camera and posed for the perfect portrait shot.

It’s easy to see why these photos are going viral. There’s clearly a lot of love and respect between the partners. There’s also strong, professional team.
Indiana State Parks wrote on Facebook, “Kenobi is cute, but make no mistake – he is a trained, working officer and can track people and locate a variety of objects ranging from venison to ginseng.”
Keep up the good work, Kenobi!
