The premise

Here’s the bit.

A wife confronts her husband about the attention he lavishes on his pets, including frequent walks and a wardrobe of winter coats. The animals turn out to be decorative pillows, yet he treats them as living creatures and places their needs above hers. She tries to provoke him by making the pillows fight, then packs a bag to leave for her mother’s home. His parting concern is replenishing the dog’s food. Once alone, he abandons his objections to rough play and stages another pillow battle on the bed.
