PICK OF THE LITTER

October 6 – 11
PICK OF THE LITTER
PICK OF THE LITTER follows a litter of puppies from the moment they’re born and begin their quest to become guide dogs for the blind. Cameras follow these pups through an intense two-year odyssey as they train to become dogs whose ultimate responsibility is to protect their blind partners from harm. Along the way, these remarkable animals rely on a community of dedicated individuals who train them to do amazing, life-changing things in the service of their human. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the cut. Only the best of the best. The pick of the litter.

“A complete delight, a much-needed balm for the soul.” – Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times

“Pick of the Litter isn’t all roly-polies and snuggles and yips: The star dogs of the film work their tails off as they are trained to become service animals, and their journey is emotional, tense, inspiring. (And yes, cute as hell.)” – Elinor Jones, The Stranger

“Pick of the Litter is earnest and heartwarming, filled with adorable camera-licking and tight closeups of beseeching doggy eyes.” – Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
