Twitter helps reunite Kings' Ben McLemore with lost puppy
Sacramento Kings guard Ben McLemore learned just how powerful social media can be this week while searching for his lost French bulldog puppy.
On Tuesday evening, McLemore informed his Twitter followers that his puppy Rolex had gone missing and asked them to tweet him if they spotted the dog. Less than 24 hours later, someone reported seeing Rolex at a vet office.
@BenMcLemore he was in a hurry he didn't leave any info when he didn't have a chip I think he lives by Winding way and Illinois Ave.

@BenMcLemore sorry wish I could help more, but it's your dog for sure red collar, young frenchie and not fixed.

McLemore was able to track down the man, and Rolex is now safe and sound at home.
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
