There have been lots of riots and protests from both anarchists and workers in Athens, Greece specially the past few years. One interesting thing is that there is one dog that is spotted at these riots from 2008 till today
December 12. 2008
It is the same dog on every picture and it is funny how it takes part in riots over several years. It is not sure but it has been guessed that the owner is one of the demontrators.

Other dogs that likes to be in the spotlight are the dogs that are competing for the title “World’s ugliest dog”.
Lorena Irizarry says
In Puerto Rico he would be called “Coquito the dog”. Any puertorican can explain why.
Avi says
You can always see him in front of riot. Most likely he is an agent provocateur.
Annie says
Rouf rouf rouf, love you love you love you, we need more like you so they can see what peace really means.
Belle says
He definitely seems to enjoy himself. I so wish the US would have programs that vaccinated and spay/neuter the strays, and let them live their lives if people are feeding them. Instead we put millions to sleep every year after caging them in small spaces. May Luke/Theodore/whatever live a long life of freedom and health.
Banana Cao says
Tribute to the little dog. From the Yangtze River to the Aegean Sea.

kiraki says
I love his really curious, but “totally into it” face at March 4! :3
Eva says
I start thinking, that this dog may be…an Angel sent from God…I know that most of the people will think this is ridiculous,but if you ever hear story of st.Dominick,you will know why I’m thinking that.

very good.revolotionary dog.we should learn of it.
Rom says
The dog probably belongs to the photographer
Rdiggety says
Hmm I can’t help but notice that nobody is looking at this dog in any of the pictures. Yes I realize that there are riots going on, but not even in the picture with them posing is anyone looking at it. Also in the picture where they are being sprayed by the hose the dog is just trotting by nonchalantly.
On the other hand if it is fake the shadow he casts in every picture is flawless. And he matches the rest of all of the images perfectly. Is there a graphic design major in the house?

I want him/her!
David says
You people can’t be serious. “I knew this dog in Greece” and whatnot. These pictures are obviously the work of a very talented photoshop artist and nothing more.
Sandro says
What’s one more dog between all those left wing dogs
simon mabus says
genius level psyop. The dog makes the stormtroopers think twice about dehumanizing the protesters and just totally decimating them, They’re forced to remember that these people are not enemies of the state, they’re families of men and women, pet owners, dog lovers. Very subtle but effective cue. Some humans can see other human lives as less than nothing, but can’t stand the idea of a dog suffering pain. I bet the owner’s a smart person and brings his little trooper to every demonstration.

LOOKS LIKE A SHELBY
Chelsea says
I like how in the December 18th picture, one of the police officers is holding his shield upside down.
Lela says
That dog deserves a steak dinner!
Amazing that he sides loyally with the protesters!
No, he doesn’t belong to anybody; he is a stray dog and the blue collar he wears is a sign that he has been vaccinated by the Humane Society in Athens.
A says
The notion that this animal should behave “more” like a pet is naïve at best. The dog functions like any other policedog or companion in the line of fire. It sure as hell has instincts to protect the pack and whomever it considers as friends. That is nothing that human breeding can ever take away. Lots of criminals have dogs for protection as does the law enforcement. The aggression is right up it´s ally, it´s was dogs do, protect the pack and adheres to the hierarchy of the pack. Quit being so sentimental. Of course there is always time for some belly scratching. But remember the world was harsh long before humans came down on it.
AnarchistDogLover says
That dog is an inspiration to animal kind across the globe…
Rise up !!!
🙂
Leslie B says
This dog has 2 FB pages—“RIOT DOG” and “Kenellos” which tell his story. I just feel bad for him b/c it’s not safe and eventually if not already some thing could happen to him. He deserves to live a stress free, relaxing, loving, comfortable safe life!
Wile the Coyote Doberman says
I am amazed at this dog!
Wile
blahblah says
Anyone who thinks this stupid shit isn’t photoshopped is just a big a failure as these pictures.
TNT says
Devil’s dog.. look at his expression in every picture. It say’s:”Yes.. yes.. dance my marionette people.. fight.. kill each-other aha ha ha”
Dudo says
The owner of the dog is the dude with the gasmask. He is also on many pictures.
VEGAN POWER says
BEST picture – May 9, 2009
GO VEGAN on the wall behind
YES!! 🙂
Loukas says
woof
Vesna says
The dog is a STRAY and his name is Theodor, though known better as Akis…… He is about 4 years old, has been neutered (good!, but for some reason he ‘likes’ riots. A Greek friend who feeds some strays in Athens centre is worried that he may get badly injured one day, perhaps not purposely, but just by being in a wrong place at a wrong time.
Vesna says
P.S. In reply to ‘blahblah’…. no photoshop trickery here. I live in the UK and saw on BBC news report, LIVE from Athens…. and the dog (Akis) was there, walking up & down in a gap between the police and the protesters.
anthony says
He knows someones gonna drop their lunch.
Lela says
My first message didn’t appear, so I’m saying it again: Could somebody in Athens, please, offer that dog a steak dinner? He deserves it!
He is the most lovable stray/hobo in real life.
His name is Look and his blue collar shows that he has been vaccinated by the Humane Society of Athens. The most interesting thing is that he always sides with the protesters against the Police, what a smart dog this is!
skoob says
I hope the people come together, I hear some of the people their talking about the people need to take the pay cuts.
How is a person suppose to live. If people take pay cuts then lower the prices of food and living.
Rise up people or just be American and dumb yourselves down.
deebell says
What an a-hole owner to bring his dog to such a dangerous place
td says
I know this “dog”, he is called Teddy Salad! 🙂
oscar says
it is so simple, any animal can be alone on the treets, juts looking mercies from someone, he has to be wiht an owner as it is usual, so this situation shows me very well woch is the greece way to take care of animals
it looks funny but it is horrible, missing culture
X-Zbit says
Yo Dawg! I think y’ll get the meme wrong! It not at dawg, it’s Xzibit on all picZ looking like a dawg!
Dana says
I have been reading quite a few articles on this dog; apparently stray dogs of the male gender are given blue collars if they have been vaccinated and neutered; mystery solved. Many of the pictures look like the same dog but a few look different, if you look really close.
My guess as to why they usually side with the protestors is that they are more familiar to the animals.
Lassie says
Dont you see? He is the master mind behind the riots! He stribes for world domination! Fear him he will be your leader!!!
orcadrvr says
Finally!!
The ideal companion for “Islamic Rage Boy”!!
Just like Timmy and Lassie!
kappadezeta says

Lukanicos es lo más! Viva el levantamiento de la clase obrera y el pueblo griegos! Viva Lukanicos! Te amamos! We love you!
Chinese people says
Chinese people support you, the people of Athens, good job!
Chinese people says
It is a symbol of your nation.If you successfully overthrow the tyranny of capitalism, it is recommended to use only the hero of a dog as your emblem!
ichou says
AURRERA TXAKURRA !!!! GORA BAKUNIN !!!!
raymond says
He should be appointed to EU commission instead of Barroso.
Agustin says
this dog is cool XD viva Lukánikos!!! the new che guevara
Bulldog Pride says
I doubt it that any of you (who think this is cool) has ever been near a riot. Flares, broken glass, CS Gas etc…is not a good environment for a dog. It saddens me that the antifa of Athens are willing to use this dog as a martyr, because thats whats going to happen. Unless they bring him to a safe place…away from the chaos he will be burnt, poisoned by old bill.
I say bring the riot dog to a safe place where he can eat, drink water and rest for a while.
