Loukanikos R.I.P.

[Maik]

Sad news from Greece – Loukanikos, the valiant dog who faced down Greek riot police during the height of the eurozone crisis, has died.

Greek media report that Loukanikos (Greek for sausage) passed away peacefully, having retired from protests in 2012.

Loukanikos began hitting the headlines in 2010, when the stray hound began appearing in the front line of anti-austerity protests.
