Besides the dogs and their handlers, the flight also included search and rescue experts from the Mexican Army, Navy personnel, State Department officials and members of the Red Cross, according to a government press release, according to CNN.

Search and rescue dogs gained prominence in 2017 after they helped rescue efforts following the earthquake in Mexico that killed hundreds of people.

She was credited with saving dozens of people in Haiti in 2010 and locating more than 40 bodies in operations in various countries over nearly a decade.

Although Frida died last year, another dog who helped rescue efforts from the 2017 earthquake was among those who traveled to Turkey, the BBC reports.

Mexico isn’t the only country sending dogs, as dogs and handlers are also being sent by the US, UK, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Libya, Poland and Switzerland, according to the BBC.

The animals are trained to sniff out humans and are often used in areas where the use of heavy machinery might cause rubble to collapse and put people in further danger.

Officials said Saturday that the 7.8-magnitude quake has killed more than 24,000 people.

Survivors are still being pulled out of destroyed buildings five days after the quake.

Turkish authorities said today, Saturday, that two women trapped for 122 hours were discovered alive amid the rubble of collapsed buildings in Turkey.
