This looks beyond good.

It's fair to say our society has a bit of an obsession with dogs...We just cannot get enough of our four legged friends, and Netflix fully gets that.

The streaming service has already released the hugely successful 'Dogs', a series about the emotional connections between humans and pups.

And now, they're tugging at the heart strings again with their new documentary Pick of the Litter, and it looks amazing.

The series "follows a litter of puppies from the moment they're born and begin their quest to become guide dogs for the blind. Cameras follow these pups through an intense two-year odyssey as they train to become dogs whose ultimate responsibility is to protect their blind partners from harm.

"Along the way, these remarkable animals rely on a community of dedicated individuals who train them to do amazing, life-changing things in the service of their human. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the cut. Only the best of the best. The pick of the litter."

The LA Times said the documentary "shows us the best in humanity, as well as the best in dogs" while The Times said "it's mostly irresistible."

The San Diego Reader called Pick of the Litter "by far the most joyous time you'll have at the movies all year" and The Hollywood Reporter echoed these sentiments when they said that it's a "relatable documentary that combines emotive storytelling with concisely focused filmmaking that's sure to charm viewers well beyond a sizeable audience of dog lovers."
