THE STORY OF RUBIE: THE ATHENIAN, BARKING AT THE TROIKA DELEGATES, DOG THAT REFUSED TO DIE! HOW HE WAS RESCUED, THE VERY LAST MOMENT, BY SOCIAL MEDIA AND ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS!

Amidst all the despair, misery and depression in the human population of Athens a stray dog, Rubie, made the difference and dared just to bark against the Troika delegation visiting the Ministry of Finance. Like every real dog would do.

Enter the genius mayor of Athens, in a lunch break after his outrageous decision to shut down 80 theaters for building department violations (so he can transform them to bars and night clubs overnight), and his cohorts, found the solution to all the harsh problems that the bankrupt city of Athens is facing: RUBIE HAD TO DIE ASAP. No questions asked.

But social media and animal rights activists campaigned hard and asked  lots of questions and the Byzantine regime of the city of Athens mumbled, and stepped back out of fear of a public backlash.

Rubie was rescued. And these days he is alive, healthy and barking on the same old spot at the Marie Antoinettes of the European Union and IMF that continue the looting of Greece.
