It's another episode of "The Real PEOPLE of Vancouver" (HERE is the first one)! This one is a 25 minute piece on Mad Dog, that guy who you likely recognize mostly for the amazing sidecar he built for his dog, Yoda. Director/producer Joseph PS Klymkiw digs deeper than the sidecar and tells the story of this "heritage punk" of our city.

From Joseph:
"Having lived near Main St. for years I would see a older man on a bike wearing a patched jean jacket with a little pug in a side cart around the local coffee shop Gene. We would talk about music and I asked him if I could film him for a day. Fast forward to last month when I took the time to actually film Mad Dog aka "the heritage punk of Vancouver". This episode features photographer Bev Davies, Mad Dog's son Farrell Augustin, lead singer of White Lung and contributor for Vice magazine Mish Way."
