Langley resident Johanna Vandyk thinks the person who stole her dog may have thought they were rescuing an abandoned puppy.

Vandyk had left Batman, her six-year-old Yorkie/Chihuahua/Pomeranian cross, tied up with his leash outside the Dollarama store in the Murrayville Square shopping plaza at Fraser Highway and 48th Avenue on Monday night, Dec. 11 while she went inside.

Batman, so named because he had facial marking like a Batman mask as a puppy, was fussing like he often does.

B次元官网网址淗e cries, he whimpers, he acts like he is abandoned.B次元官网网址�

Usually, BatmanB次元官网网址檚 much bigger buddy, VandykB次元官网网址檚 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.

When Vandyk came out of the store, Batman was gone.

A witness told her a middle-aged blond woman had unhooked BatmanB次元官网网址檚 leash, got in a grey car with him, and left.

It happened around 9 p.m.

Vandyk was devastated.

B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 not worth a lot of money, but heB次元官网网址檚 worth everything to me [and my husband],B次元官网网址� she told the Langley Advance Times.

Vandyk has reported the incident to Langley RCMP, and has contacted the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) and other animal shelters, but so far, no one has turned Batman in.

If the person who took her dog sees this and realizes their mistake, all they have to do is drop Batman off at LAPS or the RCMP, B次元官网网址渘o questions asked,B次元官网网址� Vandyk said.
