Kanellos!


... MAN'S BEST FRIEND: "Kanellos" the Greek Protest Dog.

A dog that has been seen at nearly every demonstration in Athens over the last two years has turned up again during the recent protests against new austerity measures.

Greek photographers capturing riot footage started to notice the pooch when he kept appearing in their negatives. Their photos show the mutt appearing at nearly every clash between angry locals and the police in Athens. Not surprisingly, he surfaced again during the recent protests during a nationwide strike.

The pup is seen in a variety of dangerous places: bravely lying down before lines of demonstrators, running at police, barking at riot cops prepared to shoot, and even dodging tear gas:
This spirited dog has been participating in Greek riots since 2008. Everything you see is real and unaltered. The dog that hasn't missed a single riot for years
There has been lots of riots and protests from both anarchists and workers in Athens, Greece especially the past few years.
