Goodnews.ws 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 malicious. Kanellos; Kanellos (in Greek "Κανέλλος", which means "cinnamon" was the first incarnation of Riot Dog. In Greece he was famous since the 1990s when he appears as a puppy in photographs of a general assembly of students in the occupied National Technical University of Athens, where he based his living for the years to come. He became world famous when he was involved in the 2008 Greek riots.Greek photographers capturing riot footage started to notice the dog when he kept appearing in their negatives.Kanellos died in 2008 of unknown causes, thought to only be old age. Kanellos lived to be quite old but had severe arthritis in his final days, motivating the local college student to donate money to purchase him a "doggy" wheel chair and allowing him to live among them indoors until he passed. Louk; The newer Kanellos look-alike is Thodoris, more commonly called Louk, and is thought to be one of Kanellos' pups. Louk is a light golden colored stray dog, who is up to date on all his shots, hence the blue collar.
