On this day, 9 October 2014 the Greek ‘riot dog’ Λουκάνικος (Loukanikos: “sausage”) died peacefully in his sleep. Loukanikos was the most famous of the Athens stray dogs who joined demonstrations and riots against the police murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos and later against austerity measures. Inhaling police tear gas and other chemicals during the many riots in which he participated, led to a deterioration of his health, he was adopted and retired out of the city in 2012. He died at the approximate age of 10.
He was a good boy.
We have produced some posters and merch commemorating his life to help fund our work, available here: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/animals https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1550027228515755/?type=3
