The Comfort Dogs of Uganda - Trailer

In the shadow of a brutal 20-year conflict, a remarkable story of resilience unfolds through the unexpected companionship of rescued dogs. The Comfort Dogs of Uganda follows the lives of three former child soldiers, Lucy, Francis and Jennifer, who endured unimaginable trauma after being abducted by The Lord’s Resistance Army in Northern Uganda. Stigmatised and struggling with severe PTSD, they began their path to recovery through the love of their dogs. At the heart of this transformative journey is The Comfort Dog Project (CDP), a groundbreaking initiative that pairs war survivors with abandoned dogs in a canine-assisted trauma therapy program led by community psychologist Francis, himself a war survivor. Through this deep human-animal bond, they learn to heal together. We meet Lucy and Sadik, one of the program’s first graduates; Francis and his rescued guard dog Tommy and Jennifer, who credits her dog Ogen with saving her life. Interwoven with expert insight from human-animal bond researcher Meg Daley Olmert, the film explores how oxytocin, the "trust hormone," plays a key role in this unique path to healing. A deeply moving exploration of trauma, recovery and the power of connection, The Comfort Dogs of Uganda is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the extraordinary role dogs play in helping us find our way back to life.
