MEXICO CITY — Mexico's army welcomed a new search puppy on Wednesday, gifted from Turkey following the death in the line of duty of a Mexican rescue dog who had been helping to find survivors of February's massive earthquake near the Syrian border. The three-month-old German Shepherd will join Mexico's famed canine unit, specialized in helping locate survivors in a country prone to earthquakes and other natural disasters. The black and beige fur-ball with perky ears and outsize paws has been named ‘Arkadas' – meaning 'friend' in Turkish – following an online vote.
