The Corgi Sorted the Mail His Own Way, Into a Hundred Pieces

AI imagecorgitorn mailliving room

Paper is piled so deep around the Corgi that he looks like he is sitting in a bowl of snow. His big ears stand upright, his round brown eyes are wide, and his black-and-tan coat glows warm in the room's light. Torn white strips and envelope scraps cover the floor around his short legs.

A houseplant sits in a wicker basket behind him, a cream sofa and a basket of laundry fill the corner, and a curtain hangs by the window. The mail clearly arrived, and so did the Corgi. Dust from the paper hangs in the sunbeam, and the whole scene feels frozen for a split second before the cleanup begins.

Corgis were bred in Wales for herding cattle, and they have a lot of energy and a strong need for a job. Their short legs hide a surprisingly athletic dog. A bored Corgi will invent his own work, such as tearing mail, herding family members, or barking at the doorbell. Puzzle toys, short training sessions, and daily walks are excellent for this breed. Keep the mail slot covered or put a basket under it, and clear up shredded paper that could be swallowed. Corgis are also prone to back problems and weight gain, so ask your vet about healthy exercise and portions.

The Corgi's expression is half guilt, half pride. After all, he did sort the mail, in his own way.
