Dogs are too good for this world, but they rarely ever get recognition in the way that people do. But, the people of Mexico City have changed that.

Frida, an 8-year-old rescue dog, was credited with saving at least 12 lives in the aftermath of the 2017 Central Mexican Earthquake. The earthquake, which registered at 7.1, killed almost 400 people, according to CBS News.

Frida was able to help by sniffing through rubble and finding people that were trapped.

On Thursday, a statue of Frida and her trainer Israel Arauz was erected in Puebla City — and Frida got to see the bronze version of herself. She seemed to like it a lot.

The plaque reads, in Spanish "Memorable symbols of the strength Mexicans can have when we decide to come together for great causes."
