Physical Aspects:
Being a pit bull, Dakota has the strong athletic body, great for fighting, pulling heavy object and great endurance. He is a well bred dog with fine physical traits, in the eyes of a human, would find him as a beautiful dog.
Dakota was being trained as a rescue dog, but in him instinctively holds the strength of a fighter as well. If caught in a scrap with other dogs, he is capable of using his brute strength and teeth to defend himself. Dakota doesn't like to get hurt, but training to be a rescue dog he puts aside his safety and endure the pain to help others.
Mental Aspects:
Dakota is quite smart and uses his head to think things through logically before acting. To go on a rescue mission he must always remind himself to think on his feet and is pretty wise for his age. Dakota takes his job seriously and follows his owners commands closely. He is friendly to others and is always open minded to listen to what someone has to say and will to take advice or offer it. He is always alert in the time of danger and tries to examine everything in his environment.
Dakota has a great sense of smell and can pick up even the slightest sent.
Social Aspects:
Dakota loves to make friends and tries to stay on everyone's good side, even when they're being stubborn. He's welcoming to anyone and prefers to show kindness instead of being rude. Trained as a rescue dog, Dakota love the feeling of a good deed and helping others when they're in trouble. Other dogs don't see him as much as a threat and tend to leave him alone, unless they are a rouge dog looking for a fight, Dakota will try to talk them out of it before fighting them.
His owner treated him well and he had a strong bond with his fellow humans.
He does tend to tense up in stressful situations but tries his best to gain his composure.
Dakota loved his life as a rescue dog until one day he was trying to save a human women from a burning building but failed to when a roof collapsed. His owner died when he saved Dakota from the building. Now he lives on the streets in doubt and regret. Traumatized by this event he repeatedly has bad cases of nightmares which sometimes leads him to be exhausted in the mourning.

- History -
Dakota was raised by a kind owner who trained him to be a rescue dog for fires, snow, lost people etc etc. He had a great life helping others along side his owner until one faithful day tragedy struck when he failed to save a women in a burning building. His owner ran in after him to save him and was successful by picking him up and pushing him through a window. However, his owner wasn't able to get out in time before he was burned alive.
Dakota now lives in regret wishing he could've done better and had been there for his owner and closest friend.
Since then he has suffered many in times with nightmares, keeping him up at night and losing sleep. He tries to drown the past by staying true to himself as a rescue dog and help others but the nightmares always return no matter what he does.
One day he meets Akio wondering around one winter. Dakota notices that he was walking along thin ice on top of a stream and warns Akio to get off before it breaks. At first Akio ignores him and assures him its perfectly fine, until it actually does break and he falls in. Akio can't swim and Dakota dives in to save to pull him out.
Akio is eternally thankful for saving him and the two become friends. The two don't hang out much, considering Akio likes to be alone, but he does tend to come and visit Dakota time to time. Now with a new friend, Dakota's takes in a new comfort and the nightmares aren't as bad.
