The former sidekick to actor Adam West now operates a rescue shelter with his wife Tracy for dogs in Norco, Calif. They also sell an all-natural dog food that Ward claims gives pooches an 14- to 21-year lifespan. “My dog food is a special combination that’s dry and low-fat,” Ward, 67, told The ENQUIRER. “We go through 600 pounds a day to feed our dogs, and they only have to go to the vet once every three years, just for their regular shots!” Ward added that he doesn’t make any money from his dog food or the shelter, saying: “This is a charity. We’re simply giving back to society.” At least 50 tail-waggers live with the couple at any given time. That includes 45 different breeds, ranging from tiny lap dogs to 295-pound giants. His Gentle Giants dog food – touted as “specially formulated all-natural world-class canine cuisine” – is sold in Walmart, and Ward is now touring to promote the product – and himself. Fans who cough up the cash for a bag of Gentle Giants get a free autographed photo of Ward as Robin, plus the chance to have their picture taken in the famed Batmobile. “The main purpose is to introduce people to Gentle Giants dog food,” said Ward, who also peddles the product at www. gentlegiantsrescue.com. And he’s prepping to return to TV – but without his red, yellow and green Robin costume. “I’m getting ready to do a pilot for a series about our dog rescue,” Ward said. “We’ll show how we save dogs and find them loving homes.” |

| Burt and the Batmobile made a special two day appearance at the Walmart Supercenter in Baldwin Park, CA to celebrate the introduction of all natural Gentle Giants World Class Canine Cuisine dog food onto Walmart's shelves. Walmart customers can now purchase super premium Gentle Giants at a price less than 1/2 of what they would pay for an all natural dog food in a pet store. Burt also introduced Gentle Giants enormously successful feeding and care program that Gentle Giants Rescue and Adoptions uses to as much as double the lifespan of its rescued dogs. Walmart customers were thrilled to learn how they can help their dogs live many more years than they normally would, and they were especially appreciative that Gentle Giants has made its super premium all natural dog food affordable for everyone to help their dog live the longest, healthiest, happiest life! |

My wife and I have two “kids” - a yellow lab (Maverick) and a golden retriever (Molly). Maverick has a sensitive stomach and Molly has skin allergies. A friend of mine has been telling me about your food so we decided to give it a try to see if it helps. We’ve been feeding the dogs Iams. The first thing we noticed when we opened the bag of Gentle Giants food was the aroma. Your food smelled fresh and sweet, where the Iams smells like grease. Next, we mixed the food for acclimation and even with such a small amount of your food in the mix, the dogs went nuts. Molly even took the time to chew it. This morning was only their second time eating the mix and when they were finished they had to switch bowls to see if the other had any food left in it, something they haven’t done before. We’re hoping that the food will help with their issues, and I’m confident it will. We “rescued” both our dogs from Petworks, and I mean rescued. (Just because a dog isn’t in a shelter doesn’t mean it doesn’t need a loving family and a healthy life). Maybe when the Lord takes Molly or Maverick back, we can be blessed by working with you. Thanks for all you do for these magnificent animals. Tim and Lynda L. w/Maverick and Molly |

| Hello Mr. Ward, I will continue to inform and sell your product PROUDLY. My dog hasn't been the same since I started feeding him Gentle Giants. He is acting younger everyday. Thank you for giving us back our puppy. Talk to you soon. James T. Pet Department Manager, Walmart (James has a 12 year old Rottweiler who was feeling his age until he began eating all natural Gentle Giants dog food) |

| Gentle Giants: First Id like to say that YOUR DOG FOOD HAS CHANGED THE QUALITY OF OUR DOGS' LIVES! We have a Merliquin Great Dane (Gracie) who is two, and a four year old English Mastiff (Zoe.) My husband is in the Army, and we have moved A LOT! With each move, the dogs developed a more sensitive system, the end result being severe stress colitis. Out of desperation we tried your food (having it shipped to Texas was costly), but much to our surprise, ALL THE SYMPTOMS WENT AWAY! The reason I am writing is because about 4 months ago, the biggest and most drastic move occurred; we were sent to Germany. We left the dogs with friends until we could secure a good home with us here in Europe. Now that we have done that, and are ready to have our dogs, I am wondering if you could ship to our APO address? Our family misses our dogs, but, WITHOUT YOUR FOOD, I AM SURE THE DOGS WILL GO BACK TO THE SICKLY STATE THEY WERE IN BEFORE. Do you have any suggestions for us? Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Suzanne L. |

| Hi~ My name is Jennifer and I have three babies at home (pugs) eating Gentle Giants. I was looking for a good quality dog food but couldn't seem to find anything without going to a specialty store and I came across Gentle Giants in my local Stater Bros. So, I brought it home and they have been on it for about two weeks now. They already seem perkier and to have more energy. One of my pug's has a sensitive stomach and he always had problems on other brands that I tried except for one, and it was just too expensive for me to continue to buy for three dogs. So, Thank You for a high quality dog food that is convenient to get and at an an affordable price! Jennifer San Jacinto, CA |

Memorial Donations
Hello Burt: This may sound strange but your rescue changed my sister’s life. Her and her father adopted many great Danes from you, and I believe one of them is the Harlequin living with my mom and me. Sadly, we lost my sister yesterday morning, and we will be asking people to donate to your rescue in lieu of flowers. At the Wizards World convention last year, she wanted so badly to tell you exactly how appreciative she was and what your rescue meant to her, but she chickened out at the last minute. So, I wanted to take a moment and tell you myself that the dogs she adopted from you were such a huge part of her life and helped her so much in her battle with depression. Thank you so very much! |
