Inspiration behind dog in Rembrandt's famous "Night Watch" artwork uncovered 4 centuries later An art restorer points at the image of a dog in Rembrandt's Night Watch at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, Netherlands, Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025. PETER DEJONG / AP It didn't exactly take dogged detective work for an art sleuth in Amsterdam to solve a canine conundrum dating back to the Dutch Golden Age. Anne Lenders, a curator at the city's landmark Rijksmuseum, said Tuesday that it was more or less by accident that she discovered that the barking dog in Rembrandt van Rijn's famous "Night Watch" is a near-identical copy of one that features in a 1619 pen and ink drawing by fellow Dutch artist Adriaen van de Venne.

The cost to heat your home this winter is expected to increase.  Americans will dish out more money to heat their homes this winter as electricity and natural gas costs continue to soar.

Maria Branyas Morera HANDOUT When Maria Branyas Morera died last year at 117 years and 168 days old, she was the oldest known person in the world. Before she died, she asked doctors to study her. Dr. Manel Esteller, chairman of Genetics at the University of Barcelona's School of Medicine, spent three years analyzing Branyas' health. A study, published online Wednesday, by Esteller and a cohort of colleagues found that a mix of factors contributed to Branyas' longevity.

The dog, which had to travel in a pet carrier in the aircraft's hold due to its size and weight, escaped while being taken to the plane and was never seen again.
