A pet toy device and method therefore to mentally and physically exercise and entertain pets that live indoors that may include a fabric material with at least one pocket, at least one non-pocketed area and a tether with an attaching mechanism or member that temporarily attaches to a pet's favorite object. The method of using the device includes attaching a pet's favorite object to the tether using the toy holding mechanism such as a double sided single hook and loop or Velcro strap, then hiding the tethered pet object in at least one of the pockets.
