Among those protesters who fight for freedom and justice there is a special page is dedicated to Greece’s famous riot dog "Loukanikos".

Loukanikos, whose name comes from λουκάνικο (loukaniko - Greek for sausage), is a dog that has been present at nearly every protest in downtown Athens in the past few years. He has become the symbol of the Greek protests against the IMF and the EU backed austerity measures that are taking place in 2011!
