DOCUMENTARY: PICK OF THE LITTER
"It takes a very special type of dog to do this job" says a guide dog trainer. The 2019 doc about six puppies in the running to be guide dogs for the blind has just been re-released for download on Disney Plus. Filmed locally over two years around the San Rafael training campus, the doc is a compelling watch that tugs at your puppy-loving heart strings but it's the amazing bonds these incredible dogs build with their new appreciative owners that gives the super feel-goods.
