Have protests gone to the dogs?

 

Meet Kanellos, the Greek protest dog. The hound has attended every major demonstration in Athens, Greece for the past two and half years, The Guardian newspaper reports.

 

Judging from the shots taken by Reuters and AFP photographers, this mutt has dodged rubber bullets, tear gas and has even been photographed laying down in front of decorated riot police.

 

It seems that not only The Guardian has noticed this radical mutt: Kanellos has been spotted in news clips on YouTube and now has his own Facebook fan page.
