Tucker began his consumer advocacy work in October 2023, following an incident involving a sale-priced dog food that he evaluated, found wanting, and communicated his verdict about through a process of systematic non-consumption.
His evaluation methodology covers initial approach behavior, consumption rate, post-meal engagement, and a 24-hour observational period. He addresses the camera directly during evaluations. The humans do not observe this happening. The audience does.
Mittens has been present at evaluations since November 2025. She has given her highest rating — sitting on a product — to three items. Tucker respects the data. He and Mittens have not discussed it directly. They have reached an arrangement.
