A golden Labrador retriever has retired from rescue work nearly two years after gaining international fame for rescuing survivors trapped in the rubble following a deadly 2017 earthquake in Mexico City.

Mexican Navy presented Frida the rescue dog with a toy at a ceremony to wish her joy during her retirement. She is 10.

Frida became a symbol of hope as Mexicans eagerly awaited signs of life following the September 19, 2017, 7.1-magnitude earthquake that killed over 300.

People say that dogs are the most loyal creatures and that we don't deserve them. Whenever we feel down are gloomy, dogs are there to rescue us from our misery.

Frida literally lived up to the word 'rescue'. Over the course of her career, she was credited for finding at least 41 bodies and a dozen people alive.

She also worked two international missions after earthquakes in Haiti and Ecuador in 2010 and 2016, respectively.

The word 'Frida', in Scandinavian countries, means 'beautiful and beloved'. This is what people on Twitter said about the 'beautiful and beloved' rescue dog's retirement:
