According to a post on the Greenville Police Departments Facebook page if it weren't for someone noticing the danger and alerting them this small Pit bull would have tragically drowned. The post expressed gratitude towards the Good Samaritan who made the call acknowledging that without their intervention the dogs life would have been lost.
