Three-month-old Spot was taken from his owner by two strangers in Lullington Cresent, Orpington, at 8.50am on Tuesday, March 3.
His owner was threatened with a knife in before thieves took Spot into a white Mercedes CLA Sport.

He has since been safely returned to his owner.
As a result of inquiries by detectives from the Met Police’s South Command Unit, officers from Central East Command and the TSG executed a warrant in Newham.
A 33-year-old-man has been arrested on suspicion of robbery and is now in custody at a north London police station.
The Met police said they want to thank the public and media for their support.
Enquires are continuing.
