The Metro Manila Development Authority K9 Corps paid tribute to their rescue dog named “Farah” who passed away on Tuesday.
“Today we lost a seasoned veteran. With a successful live find under her belt, Farah demonstrated obedience and willingness to work under the intense stress and pressure of deployment,” the MMDA K9 Corps said on a Facebook post.
“We will miss working and training with you. We know that you will get a hero's welcome in heaven. Thank you, Farah, for your service,” it added.
Farah was one of the four-legged heroes who helped in the search and rescue operations when an earthquake struck central Luzon in April.

She and her fellow Senior K-9s Billy and Thunder joined the search and rescue efforts in a four-story supermarket in Porac, Pampanga that collapsed during the quake.
Last October 25, Farah attended a disaster preparedness and resilience canine panelists talk where search and rescue was discussed.
Farah joined the MMDA K9 Corps last year.
Before she was designated as a disaster puppy, Farah was trained on her stability and tested on obedience under stress. She began training in May 2018.
