Τον λένε Κανέλλο ή Λούκ; Ποιος ξέρει; Οι γνώμες διίστανται. Πάντως τα διεθνή ΜΜΕ, αλλά και τα μπλόγκ όλου του κόσμου έμαθαν για τη περίπτωση του αδέσποτου σκυλάκου που δίνει βροντερό παρόν σε όλες τις διαδηλώσεις και τα συλλαλητήρια στο κέντρο των Αθηνών και εντυπωσιάστηκαν με τη στάση του.
Ο μούργος με το κανελί λεπτό τρίχωμα εμφανίζεται σχεδόν σε κάθε φωτογραφία από τις ελληνικές διαδηλώσεις, και όπως φαίνεται είναι πρωτεργάτης των διαμαρτυριών εναντίον των μέτρων λιτότητας και του ΔΝΤ. Υπάρχει μάλιστα σκέψη να τον ανακηρύξουν ως τη μορφή ή το παγκόσμιο σύμβολο ενάντια στη νέα τάξη πραγμάτων. Η εφημερίδα Guardian του αφιερώνει ολόκληρο slide show (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gallery/2010/may/06/greece-protest?picture=362290874) με σειρά φωτογραφιών, που απεικονίζουν τον λεοντόκαρδο Κανέλλο να τα βάζει με τα ΜΑΤ.
Ο Κανελος, ο σκυλος που ολοι γνωριζουν στην Αθηνα, κατοικος ΕΜΠ,πεταχτηκε σαν αδεσποτος, οταν χρειαστηκε την αναγκη των ανθρωπων που αγαπα! Κατω τα χερια από την ζωντανη Ιστορια! Ανθρωποι φτανει με την αλαζονια σας! Ο Κανελος ειναι μερος της ιστοριας του ΕΜΠ και των κινηματων μιας δεκαετιας. Μεγαλωσαμε με αυτον!
Mysterious ‘Rebel Dog’ of Greek riots becoming latest Web icon
By Brett Michael Dykes, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100507/ts_ynews/ynews_ts1963, Fri May 7, 5:09 pm ET
It’s a time-honored adage that anyone in Washington who wants a friend had better get a dog. But who knew that man’s best friend would also be a boon to Greek rioters?
Amid the turmoil of the Greece financial crisis, photos and videos of street protests have turned up a kind of canine «Where’s Waldo» figure: a mutt that may have some German shepherd genes, and clearly has a strong interest in civic disorder.
While one can’t be certain that it’s the same pooch at every protest — Athens is something of a magnet for street-savvy stray dogs — this mutt does sport a distinctive blue collar, which may indicate that, while he’s a stray, he’s also current on his shots.
By some accounts, the dog has been on the Athens protest scene ever since 2008 (though some say the 2008 pooch is a similar-looking dog named Kanellos who established himself as a fixture at demonstrations and died that year).
The current mutt has won a long string of blog tributes and a number of online nicknames, including «Rebel Dog,» «Riot Dog» and «Protest Dog.» He even has a Facebook page devoted to him (as «Riot-Dog»). Here’s a sample of his protest outings (with apologies to Kanellos partisans if he’s inadvertently included here).

Conozca al perro piquetero de la crisis griega
Se llama Kanellos y defiende a los sindicalistas atenienses. Galerνa.
07.05.2010 | 13:20
Cualquiera sea el problema, el perro siempre se pone del lado de los manifestantes.
Fotogalerνa
Un perro callejero llamado Kanellos, es la nota de color dentro del triste momento que estα viviendo Grecia. El animal ha asistido a cada una de las manifestaciones que se han hecho en el centro de Atenas y ha participado de los ataques a la policνa.
Los fotσgrafos que capturaban las imαgenes de la situaciσn, notaron que un perro era parte de todos los momentos tensos de la marcha. Mientras las fuerzas policiales reprimνan, Kanellos ladraba y se ponνa delante para defender a los sindicalistas que estαn en contra de las medidas de ajuste.
En los momentos de calma, Kanellos es el ϊnico que puede echarse frente a los policνas sin que lo golpeen y esquiva los gases lacrimσgenos que arrojan hacia los manifestantes.
Kanellos es un perro sin dueρo que viene en la zona cιntrica de Atenas. Asiste a cada manifestaciσn y sσlo alcanza con algo que le den de comer.
Kanellos, reprιsentant des chiens rιvolutionnaires grecs
Qui est donc Kanellos? C’est The Guardianqui l’a rendu cιlθbre en lui consacrant un diaporama. Kanellos, le chien manifestant grec a fait le tour du web. Le site du quotidien britannique nous apprenait que ce chien avait ιtι vu lors de quasiment toutes les manifestations en Grθce depuis deux ans. Photos ΰ l’appui, on peut suivre le canin rιvolutionnaire au collier bleu dans les rues d’Athθnes, narguant les forces de l’ordre, rιsistant aux gaz lacrymogθnes, aux balles en caoutchouc, ou rιconfortant ces «camarades» manifestants bipθdes. De nombreux autres mιdias lui ont consacrι des diaporamas et des petits articles, son histoire rafraichissante permettant de donner un ιclairage plus «dιcalι» des manifestations grecques marquιes par des violences et mκme la mort d’au moins trois personnes dans l’incendie d’une banque, le 5 mai.
Kanellos («Cannelle» en franηais) a sa vidιo YouTube (et aussi celle-ci) et mκme sa page facebook qui comptait dimanche plus de 12 000 fans.
Mais Kanellos n’est peut-κtre pas le seul manifestant canin d’Athθnes. Dιjΰ, Libιration nous apprenait que le fameux Kanellos des rιcentes manifestations ιtait sϋrement Kanellos II, le premier du nom ιtant apparemment mort en 2008 des suites d’une paralysie des pattes arriθres. L’actuel se nommerait mκme Loukanikos, ou «Louk» selon le GlobeandMail.
Newsweek continue ΰ battre en brθche la lιgende du chien protestataire athιnien solitaire. En fait, il y aurait bien plus de deux Kanellos et photographes et internautes ont pu κtre un peu abusιs par une raison simple. Les chiens errants athιniens, trθs nombreux, porteraient tous le mκme style de collier: un bleu pour les mβles, un rouge pour les femelles. L’accessoire est fourni par les bιnιvoles de la municipalitι d’Athθnes lorsqu’ils sont vaccinιs et stιrilisιs et contient une balise permettant de retrouver l’animal.
Il n’y aurait donc pas un mais bien plusieurs chiens rιvolutionnaires ΰ qui le site de Newsweek rend ιgalement hommage en treize photos dans un diaporama intitulι «L’enthousiasmante histoire des chiens grecs prostestataires».

Cachorro ficou famoso por participar de diversas manifestaηυes em Atenas
EXCLUSIVO | ELE ι um mito e tambιm um exemplo para muitos gregos. Estamos falando de Kanellos, um cachorro de rua que nγo perde um protesto em Atenas. Diante de uma semana recheada de manifestaηυes populares que acabaramm em momentos violentos na Grιcia, especialmente na capital Atenas, o cachorro Kanellos ι tido por muitos como um cγo que conhece luta pelos direitos do povo.
Kanellos foi atι capa de jornais da Grιcia
HΑ imagens de Kanellos participando de protestos, de estudantes ou da classe trabalhadora, por diversos anos. Sua fama acabou de espalhando e o cachorro foi atι capa de jornais locais. Estudantes da Universidade de Atenas afirmam que o cγo sempre participou das reuniυes estudantis e que viveu no campus atι falecer em julho de 2008. No entanto, o mito continua, e muitos turistas e cidadγos gregos afirmam que ainda encontram Kanellos circulando pelas ruas da cidade.
COMO qualquer mito, Kanellos (que significa a cor ‘canela’ em portuguκs), ganhou espaηo na internet. Por meio de um blog anarquista, videos no YouTube e atι um perfil no Facebook, sua histσria se perpetua. Aliαs, o exemplo de Kanellos nγo para de influenciar outros cγes. Acabo de assistir algumas cenas de manifestaηυes de gregos que aconteceram essa semana e lα estava um cachorro ΰ frente da multidγo. Serα que era Kanellos?
Kanellos se tornou mascote de um grupo anarquista na Grιcia e tem o prσprio blog
Kanellos – Greek Riot Dog
07Mai
Wie abgefahren.The Guardian hat eine Fotostrecke όber “Kanellos the Protest Dog”.
Kanellos ist ein griechischer Hund, der seit zwei Jahren regelmδίig auf Demonstrationen und Protesten in Athen gesichtet (und fotografiert) wird.
Jegliche Interviewanfragen blieben bislang unbeantwortet, daher ist die genaue politische Gesinnung von Kanellos nicht eindeutig geklδrt, den Fotos nach zu Urteilen sympathisiert er allerdings mit der Seite der Demonstranten. Jedenfalls ist bislang kein Foto aufgetaucht, welches ihn in Verbindung mit der Polizei bringen wόrde.
Update: Der politisch engagierte Hund hat es anscheinend in Griechenland schon zu einer gewissen Berόhmtheit gebracht. So hat Kanellos bereits eine eigenen Blog (όber deren Inhalt ich dank mangelnder Griechischkenntnisse leider nichts sagen kann): Kanellos Blogspot Und ein Fanvideo auf Youtube hat es bereits auf respektable 65.000 Hits gebracht (siehe weiter unten)
Kanellos, il cane greco che non si perde una manifestazione
di Angelo Sarasi, style.it, 07 maggio 2010
E’ giΰ diventato un mito Kanellos, il cane meticcio, che da due anni si unisce ai manifestanti greci, partecipando attivamente alla rivolta che ha raggiunto l’apice in questi giorni dopo il piano di tagli e rinunce drastiche sancito dal governo a causa del grave default finanziario del Paese.
Lo si vede sfidare in prima linea i poliziotti schierati con caschi, scudi e bastoni, oppure prendersi la sua buona dose di fumogeni gialli o di vernice rossa. Nemmeno gli idranti lo atterriscono, anzi li attende con piacere per rinfrescarsi un po’. Certe volte si stende davanti alla fila di agenti schierati, o gioca col nastro colorato che dovrebbe servire a interdire l’accesso in alcune aree della capitale greca. Non lo spaventano nemmeno il fuoco e le fiamme.
Kanellos si limita ad abbaiare alle forze di sicurezza in assetto di attacco, ma non assalta mai i poliziotti. Anzi, cerca persino di dissuaderli accucciandovi davanti con un approccio gandhiano. I tanti fotografi che lo hanno immortalato non sono riusciti a scoprire se il cane piω famoso della Grecia abbia un padrone, probabilmente θ uno dei tanti animali randagi che vivono nel boschetto ai piedi dell’Acropoli. Perς gli hanno dato un nome davvero meritato, kanellos, cane coraggioso.

Grekisk rebellhund hyllas pε nδtet
DN.se, 2010-05-08 Under de senaste dagarnas demonstrationer i Aten har en hund dykt upp pε flera bilder. Nu hyllas den pε nδtet.
Hunden pε bilderna tar tydligt demonstranternas parti och befinner sig ofta i frδmsta ledet. Den drar sig inte ens fφr att skδlla pε lagens vδktare. Enligt Yahoo News δr det svεrt att avgφra hundens ras, men kanske finns en schδfer med pε stamtavlan.
Hundens namn δr ocksε obekant, men pε nδtet hyllas den i bloggar och pε Facebook som ”Rebel Dog”, ”Riot Dog” och ”Protest Dog”.
Бездомная дворняга по кличке Канеллос с 2008 года не пропускает ни одной серьёзной заварухи в Афинах. Пёсика не могут остановить ни слезоточивый газ, ни травмы, ни служба по отлову бездомных животных. Крутые замесы — его стихия. Благо в Афинах они регулярны.

OK! let’s clear this out. Rebel Dog is not Kanellos. Do you want to know about Kanellos?
The legendary Kanellos passed away about 2 years ago. His name means ‘Cinnamon’. He lived a long and free life. He must have been about 17 when he died. He was always there to stand next to the students, the protesters and the people hanging around the central area of Athens, especially at Exarcheia. In his last 12 years he moved into the Polytechneio premises, the Technical University of Athens which is in the Exarcheia area. He became a frequenter, more frequent than many students and started to hang around the corridors, the classes and students’ councils becoming more of a friend than a mascot. When the Dean of the Architecture department called the dog catcher the people rised. A petition and even a demostration was held, in demand of Kanellos release. Finally they let him go but he was already worned out by arthritis and old age and had trouble walking. The students gathered money and bought him a wheelchair for dogs. One student took him in so he could take care of him in his last days. Kanellos finally passed away on the 2nd of july 2008 and returned again into Polytechneio where he was buried accompanied by many of his friends.
Rebel Dog is just one of the new generation of political strays. You can find strays attending demostrations in many cities of Greece, such as Thessaloniki. All the dogs would like to be like Kanellos, free, happy and restless
A song for the dog, Kanelos / who bit me but I understand him / he consists in his point of view with passion / that I wrongly live my life
(9 january 2009)
On a demostration about education cuts. Greece cannot afford money for education but must buy ships, planes, submarines and weaponry from our good – weapon manufacturing – allies, so that we have to borrow money from them and from the IMF in inconceivably high rates of interest.
interesting isn’t it?
What Did You Learn In School?
(6 april 2010)
Got milk?
The greek farmers infront of the parliament, spilled milk on the street. They protest over the highway robbery by the big dairy multinational companies who are buying the farmers’ milk for nothing and are selling it to the people at very high prices.
Rebel dog is on the side of the farmers. In the meanwhile he is testing the milk and finds it quite delicious
Today 3 people died because some criminaly idiot criminals set fire in a bank, here in Athens. This is not a revolutionary act, you fools, it’s murder. A huge demostration of people and the lives of three ruined so foolisly. The head of the Bank, as it seems, gave orders to the managers to keep employees working or else they would be fired. This bank’s branch was right in the middle of the demostration area and was not secured or had any fire-safety measures. As a result of all of the above three workers died from asphyxiation, before anyone can manage to save them. This is a very sad day for anyone with a consciense.
