Peter, a 38-year-old pediatrician, and his wife, Evelyn, a wedding photographer, had been married for 15 years, struggling with infertility. In an attempt to cope, they got a Labrador puppy, Max, who quickly became the center of their world. Over time, Evelyn began making positive changes—losing weight, working out, and revamping her wardrobe. She bought a pair of new jeans, and Peter was happy to see her looking vibrant again,

However, when Evelyn wore these jeans, Max started barking uncontrollably, circling her, and refusing to calm down until she changed. This odd behavior continued every time she wore the jeans. Despite their confusion, they initially dismissed it as a minor issue. But soon, the barking became a serious problem, disturbing the neighbors and straining their marriage. Evelyn started spending more time with friends, and Peter began feeling isolated, unable to figure out the cause of Max’s strange reaction.
