May 10, 2010: Kanellos the Greek protest dog

News stories have painted him as a mystery: this same stray dog is said to have shown up at almost every protest in Athens over the last few years. And since there have been so many protests recently, he's been really busy.

He has a collar, and a name: Kanellos. The stories say he's a stray, and his collar means he's been treated at some public facility. Maybe inoculated for rabies? They say Greece doesn't have rescue facilities and strays are a real problem.

He doesn't try to wharrgarbl at high-pressure hoses... in fact he's kinda nonchalant about it. He's been here before. A seasoned pro.

A noble pack leader, perhaps.

It's kinda sad though. The dogs should avoid where people are throwing things that are on fire.

The dog had a lot a capital tied up in Greek debt

Shoulda put all his money in kibble and dingle balls...

Obviously a *red* heeler.

Isn't it obvious? He is being paid in Kibble by the liberal media. This is Obama's real dog, not the fluffy one posing for photo ops. I know this is true, Fox News told me so.

Aw bless him. It's dog-heaven for a stray; lots of company, allowed to bark and growl all he likes and probably lots of garbage to nose through afterwards.

I read somewhere that the original Kanellos died a while ago.

Back at university there were packs of strays roaming around and they also enjoyed protests. They were treated nicely, well fed and pet by the students. Good times.

he's an angel, sent from heaven to try to diffuse violence. and we could use a few more of those around here . . .

Maybe cinnamon is dog tired of the treatment of strays around there and is trying to spice things up.:D

Yes, bar-b-cued on shish-ka-bob sticks.

You aren't really from Oz are you? :eyebrow: That is a Dingo ;)

this is a red heeler :p:

Nup, it cannot be a dingo for two reasons: (1) dingo ears are always erect - they cannot flop them down like other dogs. (2) no trace of baby

Lol, it was a joke about being red, as in commie/lefty. I almost went Red Setter, but I'm not certain that's really a breed.

But I'm pretty sure it's not a dingo: it's a bit too chunky, the ears (see above), and it is in Greece. And the baby thing.

Being a Dingo was a joke ;) [bad ear day] My red heeler is not a commie :eyebrow:

How do you know that? Did he tell you he's not a commie? He probably goes to secret K9 Commie meetings.:rolleyes:
