The dog, whose name translates directly as "sausage," has probably been the most prominent single participant in Athens' riots, especially between 2010 and 2012. He made it as a runner-up in Time's person of the year 2011.
He was a media darling two years ago, provoking regular admiration from the small army of journalists sent to report on the eurozone's crisis from Athens.
Loukanikos died this week, according to I Avgi, following health troubles that some people believe stemmed from his repeated exposure to tear gas. Here are some of the best pictures of Loukanikos in his rioting prime.
