The lost dog belonged to Sacramento Kings guard Ben McLemore, who tweeted on Monday that his French Bulldog named Rolex was missing ...

Rightfully panicked, McLemore took to Twitter to solicit some assistance — tweeting out a plea for help and a reward for anyone who could help bring his precious Rolex back home.
Simply expand any of these tweets, and you will witness the power of social media crowdsourcing:
The Sacramento community rallied to help their basketball team's shooting guard with the search as if he was one of their own family members, and wouldn't you know it, two days later: ROLEX WAS FOUND!!!
Special thank you to @matdavis916 for leading me to find him, and Jon who cared after Rolex until we picked him up. pic.twitter.com/nVPsiMzvqV

Props to Kings fans for rallying so quickly and returning the pup to its rightful owner before it was too late...
You know what? The internet isn't so bad...
...sometimes.
