When Rossville Middle School student Dakota Nation heard his dog barking early on Feb. 20, he went outside to investigate — and saw his neighbor’s house ablaze.
Knowing he had to act quickly, 13-year-old Dakota trusted his instincts to pull 54-year-old Steve McDaniel to safety.
Dakota said he saw flames coming out the living room window of Mr. McDaniel’s home and rushed over to help his neighbor, who is recovering after hip surgery.
