There have been lots of protests in Greece over the last few years, and that has kept one yellow dog very busy.
Somehow the pup called Kanellos seems to show up at every demonstration in Athens. Although, as seen above, Kanellos wears a collar, no one claims to be his owner. That blue collar, issued by the city of Athens, indicates that he is a neutered male and he’s had all his vaccinations.
Nobody can explain how he knows when and where to show up. The one thing that is sure – and you can take it to the bank - he will show up and always on the side of the demonstrators.
Kanellos may be more legend than dog; one Greek blog claims he is the spawn of Cerberus and Lassie. He is the star of a dozen or so Youtube videos and has had at least one song written in his honor.
There are reports that he actually died several years ago, and was replaced by a dog named Loukaniko. In spite of reports of his death, the Guardian featured a photo essay about the mutt last week, Kanellos.
