It sounds like Capone has an ear infection. These can be caused by yeast, bacteria, or ear mites in dogs. You need to take him into a vet first thing in the morning to have this examined, diagnosed, and treated. Leaving this untreated can lead to hearing loss, which is why it's important to have him checked out as soon as possible. Best of luck.
