Two men were involved. One punched the dog’s owner, a man in his 60s, who was left with bruising. The suspects are both described as white men:
1. of medium build and clean shaven, with black hair, wearing a quilted jacket.
2. aged in his 50s, about 5ft 8ins tall, slim and clean shaven, wearing a hat and a jacket with a furry lining.
The robbery took place at Pickeridge Close, Taunton, at about 10.30 GMT on Thursday 16 February.
Following a number of enquiries police are keen to trace the two men pictured, seen walking in the area wheeling a dark-coloured mountain bike. Both are white and wearing dark-coloured clothing and black and white trainers.
The stolen puppy, named Tok, is chocolate brown with a white stripe running down the centre of his ribs.
