A boy and his dog: meet Stella
Produced by Many Trails Production for Medicinal Media, directed and edited by Esther Shubinski, produced and filmed by Battiste Fenwick.
In this short video from our I Am Medicinal Media campaign, a young boy shares the quiet magic of walking his dog, Stella—how her bouncy ears, soft fur, and loyal eyes help him feel safe, seen, and supported.
Stella isn’t just a pet—she’s a best friend, a cozy pillow, and a source of calm when life feels scary.
Healing doesn’t always look like a diagnosis or a doctor’s office.
Sometimes, it looks like a dog who just knows when you need a cuddle.
At Medicinal Media, we believe creativity, play, and honest storytelling help young people process big feelings, build emotional strength, and discover what helps—on their terms.
