Awesome awesomeness from The Guardian: stunning photos collected by photographers of Kanellos, a street dog that has [update: supposedly] made an appearance at nearly every protest in Athens for the past two years, no matter how violent.

That is hilarious.. well.. not the teargas bit; that must have been painful.

Apparently it’s not the same dog…

Well, whaddya know? Another internet myth gone wild, I guess. Many of the shots certainly LOOK like they’re the same dog… but I guess now we’ll just have to appreciate the photos for simply being good shots. Maybe “Kanellos,” whoever he is, has/will now just become a symbol for “everydog”… a handful, at least, of which seem to feel they have their own part to play in the political goings-on of Athens.
