Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God. A patriot's best friend. One committed protester was at the front line when Greek police fired teargas at protesters outside parliament. The dog, thought to be a stray called Loukanikos, or Sausage, has been in the centre of the action since at least 2008. Here are some of his most memorable moments, gathered by (BBC) Newsnight. (thank you) WIKI Riot Dog is a term used to describe either of the three (Kanellos, Louk aka Thodoris, and Loukanikos) literal mascot dogs of the protesters of Athens, Greece. For several years a golden/cinnamon colored dog sporting a blue collar has been seen at nearly every riot/protest whether it be peaceful or destructive. Loukanikos (from Greek "λουκάνικο" which means sausage) is a dog that has been present at nearly every protest in Greece in the past few years. The stray has become the symbol of the Greek protests against the IMF and the EU backed austerity measures that are taking place in 2011. Many of the protesters say that Riot dog (Kanellos, Louk, or Loukanikos) has been taking part in protests for years. His rise to fame occurred mostly after BBC's Newsnight created a video montage of the dog in action during the protests, including barking at police in riot gear and running with other protesters away from tear gas. middle song is Eerie Cove by Kerry Livgren last song is The Spider by Kansas
