The Greek Protest Dog | Kanellos

Greece has gone to the dogs, I'm sad to say. What stuns me though is that even the dogs know it. While Greeks have been protesting, for two years straight now, following the death of a young boy by a police officer, the country's public financial humiliation, wage cuts, recession, corrupt government, spasmodic riots, turning the city into a Mad Max backdrop, one DOG stands out.

Kanellos, the mutt, not a designer dog, is still in the front line. Dogs need to eat too, you know?

Watch carefully

What up dawg???

I am grateful that the world has its eyes on this dog--keeps everyone busy and entertained and the country a teensy-weensy bit less mocked.

I've Had It!

For those of you who wonder why you don't see more of me, Twinkie, the teacup chihuahua, the rightful owner of this blog . . .

 Oh, no!

Those two are into it again.

 And it's not as if Frankie, the chiweenie, enjoys it either.

 Look, it's the dancing queen.

Let's have some quiet, you two!

 Ugh! That's enough!

Come here, you!

A job well done, Pedrito!

Pedro is doing great. His operation went well. He swears that now that he is neutered, he'll be even nicer than before. We'll see about that.
