The dog snatching was reported last Thursday in the 400 block of Northwest First Avenue.
While walking her dog, a woman was approached by the suspects who asked if they could have the pet.
After the woman said "no," the suspects grabbed the dog from her arms and fled the scene.
Police said the puppy was later found wandering alone in the city and was taken to an animal hospital, where someone recognized the dog from news reports of the incident.
Enzo, the puppy, was not harmed and has been reunited with the owner.
