Tiny Pomeranian Terrorizing Senior Sibling In 'Protection Hamper' Will Crack You Up
Many of us have that one friend who's just a bit too eager, a bit too intense, a bit too in-your-face. For one senior dog, that overeager friend is a petite Pomeranian named Teddy. In a funny TikTok video that's been viewed more than 5.6 million times, Teddy chases his senior friend around the kitchen — which could be a normal, everyday interaction between two dogs, except that Teddy is underneath an inverted laundry basket and moving hilariously quickly. The video is captioned: "This is teddies lil protection hamper for when he annoys our senior dog and gets too close for comfort. which is often lol."

"So now the senior dog is being terrorized by a really fast laundry basket," one viewer wrote, while another pointed out, "It slows him down so imagine how fast he must be without it." Several viewers mentioned the "Ghost Basket" episode of the animated show "Bluey," which features a supposedly haunted upside-down laundry basket that looks exactly like Teddy's "protection hamper."
Other viewers referenced "Doctor Who." One wrote, "Please make a topper for the basket that looks like a Dalek." As every fan of the BBC's long-running sci-fi series knows, Daleks are an alien race of xenophobic mutant cyborgs that resemble upside-down laundry baskets with some robot parts on top. Daleks are indefatigable in pursuing their goal of wiping out non-Dalek life throughout the universe, similar to how Teddy is indefatigable in pursuing his pooch pal around the kitchen.
Small dogs with big personalities
Pomeranians are one of the cutest small dog breeds in the world, and they're also one of the toy dog breeds that are like owning a puppy forever. These delightful little fuzz-balls always seem to have smiling expressions on their faces. As dogs with short legs, they tend to be only 6 or 7 inches tall and weigh about 3 to 7 pounds, but what they lack in physical size they more than make up for in personality. Lively and smart, they often have bold personalities — seeming like large dogs trapped in small bodies — and can be extremely stubborn. They can also be yappy at times, acting like big, tough guard dogs, and they usually need a lot of attention from their owners and much regular exercise.
"I just saw that Teddy was a Pom & it's honestly what I imagined was skedaddling under that laundry basket," one viewer commented on the TikTok video. Another wrote, "I don't think he even realizes there is a basket." Teddy certainly seems to be enjoying himself.
