Batman is home.
A few days after the six-year-old Yorkie/Chihuahua/Pomeranian cross, was taken from outside the Dollarama store in Langley91裸聊视频檚 Murrayville Square, the missing dog returned, in a police cruiser.
Murrayville resident Johanna Vandyk said just a few minutes after her mother phoned her to let her know the police had been in touch, two RCMP cruisers pulled up outside her house, lights flashing, with a subdued Batman in the front passenger seat of one vehicle.
91裸聊视频滺e was happy to see us. He kissed us and everything, but he wasn91裸聊视频檛 all jumping up and down and and excited to be home,91裸聊视频 Vandyk said.
Batman, so named because he had facial marking like a Batman mask as a puppy, had been shaved, including his whiskers.
91裸聊视频淗e looked really lethargic,91裸聊视频 Vandyk described.
91裸聊视频淗e got a little [welcome home] party, and gave hugs and kisses all around, but he wouldn91裸聊视频檛 eat his treats.91裸聊视频

Batman was taken Monday night, Dec. 11, when Vandyk left him on a leash outside the store in Murrayville.
Usually Vandyk91裸聊视频檚 other dog, Bowie, a Pyrenees, would have been there to keep the tiny pup company, but the larger dog was in need of some washing-up, so he stayed at home.
91裸聊视频淚 normally bring both my dogs [to the store].91裸聊视频
After Batman disappeared, a distraught Vandyk made a public appeal, telling the Langley Advance Times that the terrier cross may not be not worth a lot of money, 91裸聊视频渂ut he91裸聊视频檚 worth everything to me [and my husband]. I91裸聊视频檝e had him since he was born. He91裸聊视频檚 our baby.91裸聊视频
Vandyk said after she went public, she was phoned by the mother of a 25-year-old man who, with his girlfriend, had just acquired a new dog.
After seeing Batman91裸聊视频檚 picture, the mom identified the dog, and told Vandyk if her son, whom she described as troubled, didn91裸聊视频檛 give Batman up, she would call the police.
A day later, officers showed up at Vandyk91裸聊视频檚 home with the missing Batman.
Vandyk called the mother an 91裸聊视频渁ngel91裸聊视频 for intervening, and thanked the many people who helped get the word out.
91裸聊视频淚t was amazing how many people turned up with ways to help, and just spread our plight around,91裸聊视频 she said.
91裸聊视频淚t was like a wildfire. All of you are truly amazing and we will never forget it.91裸聊视频
She added she will never leave Batman unattended outside a store again.
91裸聊视频淚 felt very safe doing that [up till now] because I91裸聊视频檝e lived in this neighborhood for eight years, and go to that store probably five to four times a week.91裸聊视频
Vandyk also had a message for the young couple, who she was told, claimed they thought Batman had been abandoned.
91裸聊视频淲e are praying for the young couple to do some serious investigating on the subject, before you make such a rash decision. You could have destroyed a dog91裸聊视频檚 happy home and turned his and our worlds completely upside down. You know a little bit of Batman now. Couldn91裸聊视频檛 you see he was a loved little dog?91裸聊视频
