People the world over were touched by the heartbreaking story of a rescue dog that died after reportedly saving seven people in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in Ecuador last week.

The news quickly went viral after the fire department for the northern city of Ibarra announced the death of 4-year-old Labrador retriever Dayko, who had been with its K-9 unit for three and a half years.

?The Fire Department of Ibarra would like to express a brotherly thanks to all the people who gave us their support, and not only in regards to the death of our beloved canine Dayko,? the department said in a Facebook post.

According to Spanish-language news, such as ABC, Dayko suffered from heat stroke and injuries while braving the flames to find more victims, ultimately succumbing to a heart attack ? despite resuscitation attempts by veterinarians and firefighters.

Sad news it would be a great hero if he didnt die

:2 cents::2 cents:

RIP, hero :)

Dogs handler should have his ass kicked. Heat and dehydration are pathetic reasons to have any dog die.

Fully agreed.

Not really under the circumstances. Human rescuers die under the same conditions oftentimes too. :2 cents:
