Nov 26, 2014 3:43 PM CUT Today in just because why not, here is a video of a shih tzu named Munchkin walking on a treadmill in a teddy bear costume. The world is a difficult place to live in, and that is why there are dogs like Munchkin and benevolent fairy dog parents who record them doing ridiculous (or ridiculously cute) things. Munchkin is an established YouTube celebrity, as millions have watched her alias “Munchkin the Teddy Bear” exhibit her talent of looking cute in a teddy bear costume that makes her appear to be walking upright. It’s been a rough week, tomorrow’s a holiday, the weather’s disgusting, and this video is only 30 seconds long. You’re welcome. **MORE:** [This Poodle Will Stop At Nothing to Protect His Baby Sister From an Evil Blow Dryer](http://newsfeed.time.com/2014/02/06/this-poodle-will-stop-at-nothing-to-protect-his-baby-sister-from-an-evil-blow-dryer/ "undefined") [This Is Why Dogs Are Sloppier Drinkers Than Cats](http://time.com/3606721/cat-dog-drinking/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3607358/munchkin-shih-tzu-teddy-bear-costume-treadmill/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3607358/munchkin-shih-tzu-teddy-bear-costume-treadmill/"},"headline":"Here's a Shih Tzu Walking on a Treadmill in a Teddy Bear Costume","datePublished":"2014-11-26T15:43:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:51.722Z","description":"Add this video to your list of things to be thankful for.","url":"https://time.com/3607358/munchkin-shih-tzu-teddy-bear-costume-treadmill/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Dogs"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3607358/munchkin-shih-tzu-teddy-bear-costume-treadmill/","name":"Here's a Shih Tzu Walking on a Treadmill in a Teddy Bear Costume"}}]}] ```
