Loukanikos The Riot Dog 2014

Loukanikos - meaning "Sausage" - was ginger mongrel which became a Greek fol k hero during anti-austerity riots in 2011 and sadly died aged 10 in October 2014.  Loukanikos used to charge and yelp alongside protesters when they confronted police and were tear-gassed in the streets of Athens.

A leftist newspaper, Avgi, says the dog has been buried in the shade of a tree on a hill in the city centre.

Loukanikos was a stray but a man took him in and looked after him. The dog was originally called Theodor.

In 2011 Time magazine listed Loukanikos as one of its personalities of the year.
