Rick provides the family dog, Snuffles , with an intelligence-enhancing helmet to stop him from urinating on the carpet. This quickly escalates as Snuffles (now "Snowball") builds a mechanized dog army to enslave humanity, realizing that "pet insurance is mandatory" in his new canine utopia. rick and morty s01e02 h265
