Mexico City earthquake: Rescue Dog who has saved 52 lives launches into searching rubble for trapped victims

A dog has been hailed a hero after it joined the search for survivors of the Mexico earthquake.

Frida, who works for the Mexican Navy’s Canine Unit, has been searching through the concrete and rubble in Mexico City, where the 7.1 magnitude quake claimed the lives of at least 245 people.

It comes just two weeks after she helped save 12 lives when an even bigger earthquake hit the town Oaxaca.

People around the world have been thanking the Labrador, who has become a sensation on social media.
