Phoenix Suns forward Markieff Morris has lost his pet bulldog and is hoping the internet can help him find it.

The canine got out of Morris' home over thanksgiving weekend and has not been seen since, and now the Suns' Twitter account is getting involved.

The Friendly Bounce points out that King seems to have a penchant for slipping out of the house, as his neighbor found him snooping around her yard earlier this year.
