News stories have painted him as a mystery: this same stray dog is said to have shown up at almost every protest in Athens over the last few years. And since there have been so many protests recently, he's been really busy.
He has a collar, and a name: Kanellos. The stories say he's a stray, and his collar means he's been treated at some public facility. Maybe inoculated for rabies? They say Greece doesn't have rescue facilities and strays are a real problem.
He doesn't try to wharrgarbl at high-pressure hoses... in fact he's kinda nonchalant about it. He's been here before. A seasoned pro.
A noble pack leader, perhaps.
It's kinda sad though. The dogs should avoid where people are throwing things that are on fire.
