A tiny Pomeranian named Teddy Burr has found a hilarious way to stay safe while doing one of his favorite activities: pestering his older dog brother.
Teddy may only weigh about two pounds, but he’s clearly figured out a clever trick to keep himself protected while he causes trouble around the house.
In a now-viral video, Teddy can be seen running around underneath a plastic clothes hamper while chasing his senior canine sibling. The basket acts like a moving shield, letting the little pup dart around freely while preventing his bigger brother from reaching him.
It’s basically the perfect disguise.

Teddy can still run, chase, and annoy his sibling as much as he wants, but if the older dog tries to nip or paw at him, the hamper blocks every attempt.
Teddy’s owner shared the funny moment online, explaining exactly what was going on.
“This is Teddy’s little protection hamper for when he annoys our senior dog and gets too close for comfort… which is often,” she joked.
The clip quickly took off online, racking up millions of views and thousands of comments from amused viewers.
One commenter laughed, “The way that basket is flying around is sending me!”
Another wrote, “Modern problems require modern solutions.”
Others said the tiny pup looked exactly like the mischievous troublemaker they expected.
“He looks like he could be a little menace if he wanted to,” one user joked.
Another viewer pointed out that Teddy somehow turned what looked like punishment into an even bigger advantage.
“I love how he gets put in jail for being a menace but becomes even more of a menace inside the jail,” they wrote.
One comment that racked up thousands of likes summed up the situation perfectly.
“So now the senior dog is being terrorized by a really fast laundry basket.”
Even a major laundry detergent brand chimed in on the fun, joking that Teddy was clearly a professional troublemaker.
And judging by how quickly that hamper moves across the floor, Teddy seems more than happy to live up to that reputation.
