Greece's front-line riot dog

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13802940

One committed protester was at the front line when Greek police fired teargas at protesters outside parliament on Wednesday.

The dog, thought to be a stray called Loukanikos, or Sausage, has been in the centre of the action for years.

Here are some of his most memorable moments, gathered by Newsnight

Typical BBC. There are serious issues here, and all the British Blasphemic Crusaders can do is dumb the report down by focusing on a fucking dog.

@tigranvartanovitch I will agree with you, Greece has some serious issues going on at the moment. I also uploaded a more serious report (from Al Jazeera) about the riots, see the video reply. This video about the dog Loukanikos did manage to bring a smile to my face, so I thought it was worth uploading. I'm sorry if in some way this video made you angry. Peace & Friendly greetings from the Netherlands.

@enslavetherich No need to apologise. I was annoyed at the BBC's trivialising of the event. I was certainly not annoyed at you posting it. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Pax Christi.
