• Fans of 1960s kitschy TV show "Batman" will not be surprised to learn that trusty sidekick Robin (also known as Burt Ward) has received the President's Lifetime Achievement Award for rescuing more than 15,000 pets.
WTOP-TV reported that at the same ceremony, Ward and his wife received the United Nations Association of the United States of America Humanitarian Award for their work saving 45 different breeds of dogs.
The former Boy Wonder said he and his wife "want to leave this planet better off than when we found it."
(We must have missed the episode when Robin found Earth.) [WTOP, 6/26/2024]
