Heroic Dog Saved 12 People From Mexico's Earthquake
After Mexico City, Mexico experienced a whopping 7.1-magnitude earthquake on Tuesday, members of the military and others have been working together to rescue as many people as they can. Tragically, 200 people have been killed so far, but many others are being rescued by heroes who seek out survivors in the rubble.
One such hero is a dog named Frida. The brave Labrador is apart of the Mexican Navy's Canine Unit (SEMAR) and has been trained to seek out survivors in the rubble. Frida has saved 52 people from disasters in her lifetime, including 12 people from Mexico's Earthquake from 2 weeks ago in Oaxaca.
Now this week, Frida is busy seeking out survivors from the deadliest earthquake Mexico has experienced since 1985. Frida and her fellow canine heroes wear goggles to protect their eyes from smoke and shoes, which allow them to walk on the dangerous surfaces without getting harmed.

Keep your pups safe and happy this 4th of July with these quick and helpful tips!
1.) Keep Your Dog Inside
It's best to keep your dog inside during Fourth of July celebrations. Make sure to bring them in the house instead of keeping them in the yard. Block out loud sounds and bright flashes of light by keeping your pup in a room where they're comfortable, closing the blinds and turning on the television or turning up the music. If your pup is crate trained, put them in their crate covered with a blanket to make them feel safe and secure. Make sure to check on your dog and show them lots of love and encouragement to reinforce the sense of security.
