All they want for Christmas is their stolen pooch.
Coldhearted thieves burglarized a Long Island home, stealing cash, trashing the place — and swiping the family’s beloved Maltese-dachshund mix named Joey.
“Our Christmas wish is to have Joey home!’’ said a distraught Donna Labriola, a mother of three heartbroken kids.
The return of the 13-pound pup was at the top of 10-year-old daughter Maria’s Christmas list — in capital letters.
“I cried when I saw her Christmas list. She wants Joey home,’’ said Labriola. “We all do.’’
Long Island police are now asking the public to keep an eye out for Joey — who is tan and cream-colored and has black or gray on the tips of his ears and tail — in an effort to reunite him with the family and hopefully solve the crime.
Labriola, 48, said she’s even consulted with an animal psychic in a effort to find Joey. The seer believes the pet is in one of the five boroughs.
The crooks broke into the West Islip house Oct. 23 and made off with more than $1,200 in cash — including $65 that Labriola’s daughter earned walking dogs in the neighborhood — and more than $15,000 worth of jewelry.
“They broke in through a basement window, and they turned the whole house upside down,’’ said Labriola. “They broke a pipe in the basement and flooded the house.
“The house can be repaired, and what they stole is just property. We only care about Joey.”
Labriola said it’s unlikely Joey tried to chase the robbers away. “He would probably have welcomed anybody,’’ she said. “He’s very friendly.’’
The incident has impacted the family’s other dog, Ceasar, a 2-year-old Australian shepherd, who was helpless inside a cage during the incident.
“Ceasar was totally traumatized,’’ said Labriola. “It’s almost like he let Joey down, and he didn’t want to do that again.’’
The mom and her three daughters searched the neighborhood trying to find Joey, who also answers to Jojo, thinking the crooks simply let him run free.
But when no one reported seeing him, they realized he’d been taken and called the police.
Labriola believes the thieves gave away the friendly dog t— worth about $1,000 — to someone who didn’t know he had been stolen.
Suffolk County cops encouraged anyone who has seen Joey to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 220-TIPS.
Labriola said Joey has two ribs that protrude on either side, a harmless birth defect that would identify him because he had no collar or identification chip in his ear.
“This is highly unusual for burglars to take a pet. I could not speculate as to why they took the dog,’’ Suffolk Detective Sgt. Tony Lavista.
“He’s a cute little guy. Our hearts go out to the 10-year-old daughter, obviously. We’re trying.”
