Beloved rescue dog Frida, famous for locating earthquake victims, dies at 13

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Frida, a search-and-rescue Labrador who became a national hero after helping locate earthquake victims amid debris across the Americas, died of natural causes, the Mexican Navy said Tuesday. She was 13 years old.

Frida was commemorated on a stamp in 2018, and posted to disaster areas to help find survivors and victims across Mexico as well as in Haiti and Ecuador.

In the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Frida located 12 survivors in the rubble and helped locate 43 deceased victims following other disasters, according to the Mexican Navy. She became a national hero after a 7.1-magnitude earthquake in 2017 killed an estimated 370 in Mexico City and surrounding areas. She retired from the service in 2019.

The Mexican Navy said Frida finished her search and rescue training in a record time of just eight months – faster than the usual twelve months due to her “noteworthy competence”.

Earlier this year, a life-size bronze statue of Frida in her rescue outfit consisting of goggles, safety shoes and safety shoes was unveiled in her honor in Mexico City. The plaque on the statue says in part:

“In gratitude for the affection and love you still sow in our great Maritime family, in the millions of Mexican men and women, and beyond our borders.”
