Occupy Denver said it reserves the right toalter its leadership status.Shelby is expected to lead this Saturday's Occupy Denver march. Occupy Denver said other "civic-minded dogs" (and their leash-holders) are invited to join the march.The Occupy Denver group is at Civic Center Park, in front of the Capitol building on Broadway between Colfax and 14th avenues.

Greyt Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I would have thought that a Golden or a Staffie or a GSD would have been a better choice given that BC's are normally so 1 person focused and never complain about the 1% Shelby might even be a Republican under all of that fur. Sometimes you just can't tell. But given recent Washington events where the two parties again couldn't come to an agreement about deficit cuts and tax increases, I am sure that Shelby much better qualified to lead than most that have been elected to Congress or the Senate.

mita Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) "Shelby is closer to a person than any corporation: She can bleed, she can breed, and she can show emotion," Occupy Denver quotes a Shelby supporter saying at the time of her election. There may be truth in that. Recent, rigorous research into the personalities of those who lead in corporations, turned up interesting results. On certain not very humane traits, they tended to score higher than inmates of a special hospital for people who'd committed serious crimes. Shelby might indeed be more like a pleasant person.
