“All dogs go to heaven” Loukanikos - meaning "Sausage" - was ginger mongrel which became a Greek folk hero during anti-austerity riots in 2011 and sadly died aged 10 in October 2014. Loukanikos used to charge and yelp alongside protesters when they confronted police and were tear-gassed in the streets of Athens. A leftist newspaper, Avgi, says the dog has been buried in the shade of a tree on a hill in the city centre. Loukanikos was a stray but a protester took him in and looked after him. The dog was originally called Theodor. In 2011 Time magazine listed Loukanikos as one of its personalities of the year.

The street art of Loukanikos is a tribute to this famous Athenian street dog who died in 2014. Loukanikos became a national hero because he was always present at the riots in Syntagma Square during the economic crisis of the early 1910s.
