This is just in from Holland, where art conservationists have unveiled a restored version of Rembrandt's masterpiece The Night Watch. Yes, that's Sticky's great- great- great- great-grandfather on the lower right, leading the canine division of the local militia. Actually the big guy had heard there was free chow and biscuits being laid on... "Grand-puppy" had no intention of mustering out with the troops; he was going to sit this one out come hell or high water! See also the picture where he's plugging the hole in the dike with his front paw. Sticky to the rescue!

See detail in the picture of Sticky's ancestor.
