Mexican Navy’s Elite Unit

The Mexican Secretariat of the Navy (SEMAR) created a K-9 Unit with the prime objective of conducting search-and-rescue operations. The highlight was the inclusion of a canine team in the unit which consisted of highly trained dogs. The fact of Frida being the head of this team can give you an idea of her high credentials. “In emergency situations, canine search and rescue teams are an important tool at a global level,” Commander Israel Monterde Cervantes, chief of SEMAR’s K-9 Unit, explained Diálogo. “Their efficiency saves us time and is a huge positive for us.”
