Loukanikos, which means sausage, was a riot dog that participated in almost every anti-austerity protest in Greece that occurred from 2010 - 2012 . He was commonly known for joining protests, barking at police, helping in street battles with the Greek police. Loukanikos had a reputation of being fearless, usually being in front of the protests and having tear gas thrown at him multiple times. He was active throughout all Greek protests and often leading the protesters towards the police. Initially a stray, he moved from building to building, but was later adopted.

BBC's Newsnight created a video montage of the dog in action during protests in Greece, including barking at police in riot gear and running with other protesters away from tear gas.
He was nominated for person of the year in 2011 by Time Magazine.

Loukanikos died in 2014 at the age of ten. This was due to health problems because of ingestion of tear gas, which he sustained due to constant protests. He was the subject of a large amount of monuments and murals in his honor, like the one in the last picture.
