Dogs involved in Greek Protests

Above is an interesting slide show made by Newsweek showing how the protests in Greece have a history of involving not only aggressive human citizens, but also aggressive dogs.

Several of the dogs seem actively involved in the protests. In a photo from a November 2008 protest a dog looks like its staging a sit-in as it lies in front of the barrier between protesters and the official residence of the prime minister. The photo from a January 2009 commemoration March a dog is standing up to an official who is waving tear gas. In a photo of the most recent protests in April 2010 over the extreme austerity measures, a dog is seen barking at Greece authorities.

This slide show shows a different side of the Greek riots. It seems that everyone gets caught up in the rebellion, humans and canines alike.
