🐾 Fun Fact: The Cheerful Corgi

Corgis are famous for their short legs, big personalities, and playful spirits. Originally bred as herding dogs in Wales, their low stature made them excellent at nipping the heels of cattle while staying clear of kicks. Today, they are beloved as affectionate, intelligent companions—and thanks to Queen Elizabeth II’s lifelong love of the breed, Corgis have also become international icons of charm and loyalty.
