Pick of the Litter | Ratings & Reviews

"An unavoidably cute and moving inquiry into the inability of humans to wholly function without the blessed existence of doggos, Pick of the Litter ruthlessly draws blood—or tears, both the same here—within its first minute.

"Though not particularly inspired in packaging or storytelling, this solidly crafted item is guaranteed to appeal to mutt-lovers..."
