This clever dog has discovered a valuable diamond and sapphire ring – pictured here – inside a hunk of bread it picked up on the street during walkies.

According to 38-year-old Ukrainian resident Zhanna Yaremenko, she was walking with her baby and pet dog Archie in the district of Kharkivskyi Masyv in the northern Ukrainian capital Kiev when the clever canine approached her with a piece of bread in its mouth.

Archie then started barking loudly at its owner and even woke up the baby.

In an exclusive interview with Central European News (CEN), Zhanna said: “Archie loves bringing us different things. Now he found a very valuable item. He is a very smart and loyal dog.”

According to Zhanna, some of the pooch’s previous finds including packets of drugs and World War II artefacts.

When the dog owner inspected the bread Archie was barking over, she was stunned to find a diamond and sapphire ring inside.

She later said: “The ring was cleaned at a pawn shop and it was confirmed that it is made of gold.”

Zhanna said she would gladly return the ring to its rightful owner if the person was able to provide proof of purchase or be able to describe it in detail.

She added that the ring is too big for her and she will probably sell it if nobody comes forwards to claim it.

Zhanna told local media: “We are still looking for the owner. There are several theories about how the ring ended up in the hunk of bread.

“We will wait until after Christmas and then sell it if the owner does not come forwards.”

Zhanna, who runs the NGO ‘Happy People’ with her husband, adopted Archie from the street several years ago.

Netizen ‘Victoria Topilko’ said: “I doubt they will find the owner. It probably fell off a bakery worker’s hand. Which begs the question, do bakers not have to wear gloves?”

‘Julia Kornienko’ commented: “This is an incredible story, could you please tell us when it is concluded?”
