The silent breeze whipped around in the air as the Alaskan Malamute walked along the Earth, her paws matching in a peaceful trot. Her black and white fur was moving as she trotted onward, the breeze now gone.

Dakota glanced up to the sky as she continued along the hard landscape. The colors of dawn were extended across the sky, and she smiled. Dawn was her favorite time of the day. She had gotten up quite early today, a new kind of exhilaration in her veins and blood. The female was so active today...

Just then, she stopped. Her nose was now in motion, tracking a scent she hadnt caught until now. "A new dog... She smells like saltw{a}ter..." She snorted in disgust of the smell. She didnt like the smell of the salt in the ocean. Dakota slowly began to trot again, this time going closer and closer to the scent.

She passed through the trees as she walked, and the lake was soon in view. The female was hidden behind the ferns, and looked over at the golden shape that was next to the lakes edge. "Hmm..." She thought.

Just then, she herd the dogs words.

"Who's there?"

Dakota sighed as she stepped out of the ferns, and looked at the Saluki. "Dont worry, its just me, Dakota." She murmured as she halted just off of the new female.

Dakota shifted her paws uneasily as she watched the Saluki until she finally spoke. "Um... Yeah..." She murmured softly, her paws stopping in place in front of her.

The Malamute turned her head to the ocean, then back to the Saluki. She saw the saltwater running down the golden dogs fur, and thought she had been swimming for a while. "Hey, where have you been swimming from? Your fur is quite wet..." She couldnt help but chuckle at the dogs appearance, for she had never seen a Saluki. She did not know of their ancient history, nor how possibly rare they could be.

The female sighed as she sat down and lifted her hind leg to scratch an itch behind her right ear. Moments later, she lowered her leg and gazed back at the Saluki. "Oh! You still havnt said what your name is yet." She said softly, her tail lightly waving in the warm breeze. Dakota looked back at the sky. "Id better go and gte breakfast soon..." She thought to herself as she turned her attentions back to the Saluki again.
