So, someone PM'd me asking about Pick of the Litter and I figured I would educate all of you who have not seen this amazing film. Pick of the litter follows 5 puppies on the journey to try to be a guide dog for the blind. It is not easy as even dogs who are bred specifically for this purpose have only a small chance of learning the habits and exhibiting the traits that it takes to become the eyes for a blind human being. The film not only gives us a peek at this training, but also takes us inside the world of the people who volunteer to train these animals. We also meet some blind folks who are hoping to get a guide dog and talk about how it would change their life.
The film is heartwarming, sad, enlightening, and emotional. It is 81 minutes long and will be among the best 81 minutes to you spend this week. It is currently 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and I am actively looking for the 3% who did not like it so I can hunt them down and take away their film critic card.
Here is a trailer... prepare to tear up a little bit.
Pick of the Litter is currently streaming on Netflix... do yourself a favor and watch it.
