Pick of the Litter
Guide Dogs for the Blind was the subject of an award-winning 2018 feature-length documentary called "Pick of the Litter." In 2019 the documentary was developed into a television docu-series by the same name for Disney+.
The series documents the ups and downs of an adorable group of six dogs on their fascinating and surprisingly suspenseful quest to become guides for Guide Dogs for the Blind, the ultimate canine career. We are delighted that the series captures both sides of the harness by showcasing the people who love, train, and are paired with GDB dogs.
The six episode series is audio described.
