The premise

Here’s the bit.

While Jenny shops for dog food, Rebecca Ann Bush insists that buying a cheaper brand endangers her pet. Rebecca recruits her husband Daniel to justify Blue River’s price with increasingly nonsensical arithmetic. The couple escalates from unsolicited advice to accusations of neglect, with Rebecca even speaking for Jenny’s dog. Other owners lend their approval, and Jenny finally gives in. Rebecca and Daniel celebrate their victory as a triumph for both the dog and their marriage.
