Mexico's army has welcomed a new search and rescue puppy, gifted from the Turkish government as a gesture of gratitude for the lifesaving work of Mexico's emergency teams following devastating earthquakes that hit Türkiye and Syria in February.
The three-month-old German shepherd will join Mexico's famed canine unit, specialised in locating survivors in a country prone to earthquakes and other natural disasters.
Ankara said it hoped the puppy would "carry on the legacy" of Proteo, one of the Mexican rescue dogs that died a hero while saving earthquake survivors in Türkiye.
