Pick of the Litter is a heartwarming and uplifting documentary that follows a group of puppies with a very special purpose. These puppies are part of the Guide Dogs for the Blind program, and the film documents their journey from birth to becoming certified guide dogs for people with visual impairments. The film begins with the birth of a litter of Labrador Retrievers in the Guide Dogs for the Blind breeding facility. The audience is introduced to the trainers, who explain the rigorous process the puppies must undergo in order to become guide dogs. The film then follows the puppies as they are placed with volunteer puppy raisers, who help to socialize and prepare them for the next step in their journey.

As the puppies grow and develop, the audience gets to know each one individually. There's Patriot, a laid-back yellow lab who loves to relax; Primrose, a spunky black lab who is always eager to please; Poppet, a sweet chocolate lab who is a bit more timid than her siblings; Pirate, a curious and adventurous black lab who is known to get into mischief; and Phil, the smallest of the litter who is full of energy and enthusiasm.

As the puppies go through training and evaluations, not all of them make it to the next stage. The film doesn't shy away from the disappointment and heartbreak that comes with this process, but it also celebrates the successes and milestones achieved by the puppies who do move forward.

Throughout the film, the trainers and puppy raisers share their experiences and perspectives, highlighting the importance of the work they do and the impact it has on the lives of visually impaired individuals. The audience also gets to meet some of the individuals who have received guide dogs, and to see the incredible bond that develops between the dog and their owner.

Pick of the Litter is a powerful and emotional film that showcases the incredible abilities of these guide dogs and the dedication of the people who train and raise them. The film is beautifully shot, capturing the personalities and quirks of each puppy, and the music adds to the emotional impact of the story.

Overall, Pick of the Litter is a film that will touch your heart and leave you feeling inspired. It celebrates the extraordinary abilities of these dogs and the amazing things that can happen when people work together towards a common goal. Whether you're a dog lover or not, this film is a must-see.
