A boy and his dog: meet Stella
Produced by Many Trails Productionfor 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 that just knows when you need a cuddle.
