Batman is back – with a vengeance

By CASEY NEILL

BATMAN has returned to his relieved Berwick owners – after three months on the run.
The Pomeranian vanished on 16 April while Michele Lecordier was visiting friends near Glasscocks Road, Narre Warren South.
She said the five-year-old pooch was spotted throughout Casey and Cardinia over the following two months, making it as far as Pakenham before disappearing without a trace for a month.
Ms Lecordier feared the worst but two weeks ago received a call from the RSPCA in Burwood with the news she had been waiting for.
She said Batman had been sleeping a lot since he returned home, but was otherwise in good health.
He and his sister Robin have been part of the family since they were 12 months old.
“The first day was awful to see. She didn’t want to get in the car with me and she had tears in her eyes,” Ms Lecordier said.
“My husband used to talk to Batman. He would listen with his eyes and put his paw on my husband’s heart or his arm.
“If one of us was sick he’d cuddle with us.”
