Dogman

Douglas is a man who suffered extreme physical and psychological abuse as a child at the hands of his father and brother, who once imprisoned him in a cage with fighting dogs. Now an adult who uses a wheelchair, he shares a unique bond with dogs, training them to follow his commands to assist people in need or steal from the wealthy. The story unfolds as a police psychologist named Evelyn interrogates Douglas after he is arrested while driving a truck full of dogs, wearing a blood-stained dress. Through this interrogation, Douglas recounts his traumatic past and his life as a protector of animals who opposes a powerful drug lord.
