Literally every monument space we have visited is protected by very large, if somewhat tired, guard dogs. The first is on the steps next to the Parthenon. The second is at the entrance to steps leading up the Acropolis hill. The third is outside the National Acropolis Museum. This may have something to do with the origins of the phrase "let sleeping dogs lie," though I'm guessing the rest of the saying is, "because it would be plain rude to wake them up."
