A 2-pound Pomeranian named Teddy Burr has come up with a genius way to keep himself protected while he does one of his favorite things: annoying his senior canine brother. What’s so funny about this protection is that we’re not sure how he even discovered it in the first place!

Watch as Teddy, who’s underneath a clothes hamper, chases his brother around. It’s the perfect cover (literally!) because he can still run, but if his brother tries to bite or paw at him to get him to stop, there’s no way for him to reach the tiny pup!

Teddy’s mom shared in the caption, “This is Teddy’s lil’ protection hamper for when he annoys our senior dog and gets too close for comfort, which is often LOL!”

It’s actually genius!
