History: Dingo grew up under his brother's shadow his while life. On adoption day, Kyle and Kayla picked both Dingo and Kodi out of the box to take home. The two brother's were equal competitors for most of their puppyhood, but he wasn't the one to be chosen as the new member of the mail team.

Althought Dingo enjoyed being the only dog of the house, he was also increasingly jealous of Kodi's "fame", espeacilly after he and Balto rescued Duke. Dingo wanted so badly to be a famous sled dog like his father and brother, so he broke down and asked Balto for help. The two hadn't ever been close, but they didn't dislike each other either, so Balto accepted training Dingo into a sled dog.

It didn't take long at all! Dingo fell into the training naturally, and Dingo soon was talked about all over Nome. Even the local mushers noticed the dog's talent. It was not surprise that when Kyle and Kayla's older brother, Josh, decided to father his father's footsteps and start up his own team, he picked Dingo as his lead dog.

The two traveled into many different cities, picking up dogs from breeders as they went. By the time they reached Anchorage, where Josh was planning to make his new home, they had a complete team on their hands.

Dingo's team slowly made a name for themselves, and they traveled to almost every city in Alaska to make as many races as they could. The team did a lot of traveling, but Dingo never grew tired of seeing new places. The team soon made their way back to Nome, where they would take a sort break before starting off again with a race in Nome. Dingo spend that time really getting to know his team mates for once, and trusting even more in his second-lead, Emma.

Other teams filtered into Nome, and Dingo's team had to prepare for the big race. It was unsure whether the race woud continue as planned since a blizzard was heading Nome's way. That didn't stop one of the teams from traveling the course again the night before. Dingo was woken up in the middle of the night by Emma and Mia, another dog on his team, who was worried sick about the team that had gone out just before sundown. The storm had really hit just after the team left, and they hadn't returned. Dingo shrugged it off and told them that the team had probably set up camp and would be back in the morning. Mia persisted that their team go out after them, because she had discovered her brother, Max, was on the rival team. Emma agreed with Mia and told Dingo that Max's team had never been to Nome before and they knew no other path but the racing course. They would never be able to find a short cut back to Nome. They'd be lost even if they made through by camping. Dingo ignored their pleas and sent them back to bed.

In the morning, Dingo woke up to find his entire team gone. He asked around town, and it turned out that Emma and Mia had taken the team out to find Max's team. In desperation, Dingo turned to Kodi and the mail team to rescue his team. Dingo and Kodi led the mail team into the woods, with plenty of first aid kits. It was pratically impossible to find the missing team since the blizzard had laid down a clean layer of snow. All scent and prints were long gone. Dingo was about to give up when he saw a dog coming toward them. It was Emma!

She led the team to where Max's team had crashed. Mia and the rest of Dingo's team were helping with the first aid inside a small cave. They had waited out the storm and then had sent Emma for more help since they couldn't carry all the injured dogs back to Nome alone. The mail team helped patch up the dogs and loaded them onto both sleds and carried them back to Nome for proper treatment.

Dingo swallowed his proud while waiting in the vet's office, and apologized to Emma for not helping her. She instantly forgave him because that is just her personality.

For years afterward, the couple headed the team to many victories, and had a litter of pups when they retired early for the sole purpose of being parents.

Personality: Dingo has a very laid-back personality since he got all his compeitveness when he was younger. Once he had his own team, he relaxed majorly. He is a sarcastic dog and loves to crack a joke. In other words: he's very fun-loving. But he can also be serious at the best (or worst) of times. When there's something on his mind, others know, because he doesn't act himself. He becomes quiet and reserved, and he always seems to have his mind on something else.
