This one’s a bit surrealist. What do various animals - lions, hyenas, whatever, do with their young? This. Carrying back the young with a gentle mouth to the scruff of the neck. It’s a cliche in nature documentaries to blather about how amazing powerfully-jawed killer beasts gently take care of their young.

Except, lil’ Bobby is not the dog’s young. He is a stupid small child. Ginger is also not a Fearsome Beast (tm), she is some lab or retriever. This insane woman either sent the dog out to get Bobby or Ginger herself has decided it’s time to bring home her young wolf-style. The mom is not finding this in any way odd, but is instead doing the pet-owner/parent thing of cooing over the pet or child doing something neat or cute. Except that she’s also blathering exactly like it’s a nature documentary.

It’s also kind of like dumb, stupid, “explain things to the audience” exposition dialogue in a 50s movie, which helps make this more homey and ‘50s, but also even stranger. Lassie on peyote.

All of w hich is really funny.
