John Dolan is one of the East London's most unique artists. He spent 20 years living on the streets of London and was in and out of prison during this period, stuck in what he refers to as a "revolving door of prison and homelessness" with no hope in sight. Hope came around five years ago when Dolan adopted a Staffie puppy from a homeless couple for the price of a strong can of lager. Having to take care of a new friend was a life changing moment for Dolan as going to prison again would mean losing George.
