Editor's Note: Window on the Clearwater has joined the Wednesday's Child network to help spread the word about children that are waiting for families to give them the loving care that they need. Each Wednesday we will profile a different child. For more information about Wednesday's Child and how you can be involved check the web site at: http://www.icwrtc.org/wednesdays-child-1.

Dakoda is a sweet little boy who wants everyone to know that his favorite thing to do is to spend time cuddling with animals and with the people he loves! Dogs are his absolute favorite animal and he has a special bond with "Harper," a therapy dog he loves.

An active boy with an abundance of energy, Dakoda needs an active family with a mom and a dad who will create opportunities for him to have fun. He loves to swing, play baseball and soccer, and ride horses.

Dakoda is a big football fan and let us know that the Seattle Seahawks are his favorite team! He has participated in Boy Scouts in the past and would love to be able to do that again. Indoor activities that make him happy include crafts, origami, painting, drawing, reading books, playing with Transformers and playing video games-especially Minecraft. With a bit of a sweet-tooth, Dakoda's favorite foods include root beer floats, ice cream, cookies and jelly beans!

Dakoda prides himself on being a kind boy and says that he cares for his friends by "picking them up when they fall." He loves science, and always looks forward to his birthday and Christmas. Dakoda would someday love to visit Europe with his Forever Family.

Dakoda's team is searching for a family that feels they may be a good fit for him, preferably one where he can be an only child, or have older sisters. Ideally, his new family will reside in or near the Treasure Valley. If you feel you can provide Dakoda with the commitment and love this one of a kind boy deserves, please inquire today at www.idahowednesdayschild.org.
