Greenville police were called out to the Rosemont Apartment in Greenville after a cute little pitt bull puppy found a gun.

The puppy named Ryder had uncovered a loaded .38 special wrapped in a t-shirt on Tuesday morning. The gun has been stored in evidence at the police station.

Greenville police said there is “a good chance little Ryder may have prevented a tragedy,” and “he certainly prevented the gun from winding up in the wrong hands!”
