Mexico was recently the victim of a huge 7.1 earthquake on Tuesday last the 19th of sept in which more than 305 people have been killed thus far. Thousands have been injured and still the death toll is increasing as more bodies are being pulled out of debris and rubble. What is saddening to note that this was the second earthquake in two weeks when the earlier one hit Oaxaca leaving the area in a piece of rubble. Large-scale operations are still underway even as I speak but among the devastation and death comes the tale on one hero who has been relentlessly and tirelessly working to save lives and that is Frida, the rescue dog.
