A diverse group of ten canines took to the streets this morning in solidarity with the Occupy movement, protesting outside Bank of America on SE Hawthorne and marching to Wells Fargo and US Bank. The march was slowed by considerable butt-sniffing, but overall, the crowd at Dogcupy Portland seemed to be a serious bunch.

There were a few tense moments, but no confrontations.

Police presence was absent from the protest, though the Bank of America security guard did seem amused by Docuppier Flash’s repeated smelling of his leg.

  1. @4 Everyone knows that felines are catapitalist stooges and thus should be treated as hostile to the occupy movement.

    Also, WHO’S A GOOD BOY?! YOU! YOU ARE! YES, YOU ARE.

  2. After massive coverage for weeks, this is the first time I’ve seen a spelling error on an occupiers sign. These dogs could teach english to the tea baggers.
