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. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the cut. Pick of the Litter is a wonderful reminder of the extraordinary relationships we have with our dogs, especially those that we work beside each day.

“Pick of the Litter is about so much more than these adorable creatures though. It truly does take a village to get these dogs ready to be put in the hands of a person who is blind. I am driven to stories that center around the people in society who give so much. That’s what drew me to Pick of the Litter.” (Dana Nachman)

“For my filmmaking partner Dana Nachman and me, the idea for Pick of the Litter goes back more than a decade. Over the next 3 years, we were immersed in the world of guide dogs and the amazing community of people who surround them. Our litter of puppies and the incredible trainers who taught them to do unbelievable tasks in service of their person who is blind. Their commitment inspires me every day.” (Don Hardy)
