Dog-upy Portland combines Occupy Wall Street, Portland, dogs

A small group of pissed-off Portlandites (Portlanders? Portlandians? Portlandim, to use the Hebrew plural form?) gathered outside a Bank of America branch to convince passers-by to take their money out of big banks, later moving on to demonstrate outside Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank branches. Unlike at the Zuccotti Park protests, however, neither nightstick-toting NYPD officers nor Anne Hathaway made an appearance at the gathering. The protesters were, however, accompanied by ten of their dogs, who arrived at the Dog-cupy Portland rally wearing signs that read, "Tax the big dogs," "move your bones to a credit union," and "nobody mounts the 99 percent."
Seriously, if this doesn't become a thing nationwide, the OWS movement is doing itself a huge disservice. Who's gonna arrest or hassle or pepper-spray an adorable dachshund wearing a sweater emblazoned with puns, protesting against corporate greed? A soulless monster, that's who. Check out the socially conscious canines (and feel free to make up your own groan-worthy Wall Street fat-cat puns) below.

Shit, even the dogs can spell their signs better than we can.
the wall street financiers are like dogs, because we have to clean up after them.
as a portlander, i can assure you that it is "portlander" and not portlandite. c'mon.
