Brothers Blake and Bryson Reiter are refusing Christmas presents until their French bulldog is returned to thefamily.
"He's a family member and we need all of our family members to open presents," 6-year-old Bryson told CBS2 Monday.
The family believes someone took Jackson, a 3-month-old puppy, from his home on Christmas Eve.
Since then, the Los Angeles-area family has posted fliers with information about the dog.
Bryson also wrote a letter to Santa asking for Jackson to come home.
The two boys also took a picture holding a flierand a sign that reads, "no Christmas until Jackson is home."
"That shows that they're thinking beyond themselves and it's not just a selfish time, Christmas, but it's supposed to be a together time," the boys' father, William Reiter, said.
The family is offering a $2,000 reward and asks anyone with information to call the Riverside Police Department.
