Traveling man draws tattoos for money, but his dog can get little crazy sometimes

Wildcat: Hi, my name's Nathan and you're On the Spot. I think I saw your dog by the library once. I thought it was going to attack me. It was giving me that 'Old Yeller' deranged kind of look, so I walked around.

Harvey: Oh, yeah. Yeah, she's a real sweet dog. She's just a little crazy

sometimes.

Wildcat: Yeah? Like what does she do?

Harvey: Well, she'll be sitting there one minute and the next, try to jump all over you and basically rip your clothes to pieces.

Wildcat: She was only tethered to a backpack. And even now, you're stepping on her leash.

Harvey: Yeah. I've got my backpack on right now.

Wildcat: (looking down at dog bumping against my legs) I think she just licked my camera lens.

Harvey: Aw, shit.

Wildcat: No, she didn't. It's cool. So, I've always wondered, do you live anywhere? Do you go to school here?

Harvey: Naw, I just travel around.

Wildcat: What do you call yourself? Are you homeless ...

Harvey: Just a nomad. I travel all over the place, seeing the country.

Wildcat: So what do you do for money? How do traveling people afford to feed their dogs?

Harvey: Ah, just artwork. Like, just do tattoos on the side.

Wildcat: Do you carry your supplies on you?

Harvey: Oh no. I don't carry tattoo supplies on me. Those things either get stolen or broken real easily.

Wildcat: And they would poke into your back, right? You'd have tattoos all over your back.

Harvey: That and sometimes when we're in big cities, do just like, hilarious street performances.

Wildcat: If I gave you a dollar, would you dance around?

Harvey: I can't dance around, personally. (To dog) Hey! Chill out! Stop biting my arm.
