A cable company employee was caught on camera stealing a puppy from a home.

The man could be seen on surveillance video taking Andrew, a 10-month-old pug, from a Los Angeles home on Monday.

Melissa Cortez, Andrew’s owner, posted the footage on Twitter in hopes of his return.

Managers from the cable company returned the puppy the next day and said the employee had been fired for the theft.

Cortez said she plans on pressing charges.
