Riot dog

[1][2][3] A few riot dogs have acquired a large following of fans around the world such as the Greek Loukanikos[4][5][6] and Negro Matapacos in Chile.

Loukanikos' health was "severely burdened" by the inhaling of tear gas and other chemicals during the many riots in which he participated[11] but lived until approximately ten years of age, dying peacefully in 2014 at the home of a person who cared for him.

His maiden appearance was in photographs taken at a general assembly of students in the occupied National Technical University of Athens.

[14] According to reports by witnesses, Kanellos, in his final years, suffered from arthritis, which motivated a group of college students to collect money and purchase him a dog's wheelchair.

Thodoris is a light golden-colored, mixed breed dog, who, despite being a stray, has seemingly been provided with all the necessary medical shots, as evidenced by his blue collar.
