Dusty

Dusty is part of the same mail team as Kodi in Balto III: Wings of Change and was the only female dog on the team.

She blames their lateness in delivering the mail on the treacherous spring snow, and, like two of her mail team members, does not take their running late very seriously.

Her story
She is first shown as a member of the mail team, with the rest of the team, excluding Kodi.

Dusty is also at the rally for Balto to lead the team, and later runs with the team who beat the Duke's bush plane in the mail delivery race.

When Balto steps forward with his concern for Duke's safety, Dusty, like the others, is entirely against the idea of helping the "enemy."

However, when Kodi later wants to go and help his father, Dusty first doubts his loyalty to them, asking him, "Joining the other side?"

After Kodi leaves, Dusty is surprised and follows him to the door, looking shocked when he left. With the rest of the team, Dusty comes to the rescue and saves Balto and Duke from falling off a cliff and helps pull Duke back to Nome.

Some fans suggest that Dusty might become a love interest for Kodi.
