"Pick of the Litter" on Netflix

Who doesn't like movies about puppies?  This documentary follows five puppies as they journey through the training at Guide Dogs for the Blind.  We see them being born, as puppies, with their foster parents and then back to GDB for training or breeding or "career changing" as it is called when they are adopted out to a family as a non-GDB.

Not only are the puppies cute and happy, but the entire procedure of how GDB introduces the dogs into the world, brings them back for training and then matches them with a blind person is very informative. There are a few scenes that make you think that GDB is a little cold and uncaring about the foster parents and even the dogs, but since the training is so formidable, those running the organization have got to put personal feelings aside and do what's right for the dog.

It's not a long documentary and it's quite moving at times. If you like dogs, you will like this.  If you're a cat person, well.... not so sure.

But the puppies? So much fun
