The man spoke to the worker as the woman walked casually out of the store with the six week old Jack Russell puppy in hand.

The puppy was wearing a red jumper, and the woman was caught on CCTV leaving the centre with the animal in her arms.

WA Police spokeswoman Sarah Dyer said the puppy had now been returned to the store, and there appeared to be a 'misunderstanding' between the couple and the store. 

Anyone with information is urged to make a report online, or contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
