A Dog Story is a Ugandan short film about Atim, a young woman who tries to escape from her abductor Bongwat and comes face to face with the reality of what it means to be an abductee, and the consequences of requiting his love.

It was produced by actress and dental assistant Doreen Mirembe as her debut production.

In 2015, she had pitched the story to a few who welcomed the project and aimed at getting it all produced on the budget of five million shillings that she had by at the time.

The lead male role that had been cast didn’t turn up on the first day of shoot and Michael Wawuyo Jr. was immediately called on set to take the character of Bongwat.

He had to read, understand and execute the story in just a few hours to the shoot ZziwaJaubarl and OpioOpolot were cast in supporting roles.
