One of the most unlikely heroes this month following the deadly earthquakes in Mexico has been a Labrador named Frida.

Frida is a member of the Mexican Navy's (SEMAR) Canine Unit, which has saved 12 people this month so far after a 8.1 magnitude earthquake rocked Oaxaca in early September and another earthquake Tuesday in Mexico City killed more than 230 people, ABC News reported.

Frida, who sports black booties and goggles during her rescue efforts, has logged 53 total saves in her lifetime, with 12 this month alone by helping handlers identify victims trapped underneath rubble, Metro reported.

The four-legged hero became an internet sensation after a photo of the dog landed on Reddit's r/aww community Wednesday night.

The photo has since collected more than 1,400 comments and more than 110,000 votes.

"I've been in the military almost 3 years and this dog is doing more than me," ryley20 commented.

A request for comment has been placed with the Mexican government regarding Frida's work.
