Mexico said Türkiye's gift of the capable young pup shows that "humanitarian aid knows no limits or borders."
The Mexican army plans to train the puppy for search and rescue missions.
Proteo, a specially trained 9-year-old canine, who served with a Mexican search and rescue team in Adıyaman, Türkiye, died this February in the line of duty, from exhaustion due to the long trip and extended duty in the quake zone, said his trainer.
But before his sacrifice, Proteo helped locate and save at least one woman and one man from the earthquake rubble.
He was later honored in a ceremony and buried in his home country, Mexico.
