A Corgi Trots Past Carrying a Bun Bigger Than His Mouth

AI imagecorgihot dog bunliving room

His big ears stand up like satellite dishes, his brown eyebrows lift, and a whole hot dog bun sits sideways in his mouth. The tricolor Corgi has clearly been on a mission, and he has stopped for just a moment so you can admire his catch. White crumbs cling to his chin and the soft fur of his chest.

The living room behind him looks lived in: a lamp glowing on a side table, a basket brimming with toys, a knit blanket across the couch, a remote on the arm, and a pair of slippers by his feet. A trail of bread crumbs on the floorboards shows exactly where he came from.

Corgis are cheerful, clever herding dogs who are famous for loving food. Because many of them gain weight easily, a stolen bun is more than a joke, since extra calories add up on a short-legged frame. Bread alone is rarely a problem for a dog, but toppings such as onions, raisins, or sweet sauces can be, so check what was on it. Measure his meals, use a few low-calorie treats for training, and keep picnic food on a high table. If he eats something you are worried about, call your vet. Corgis are also very good at reading faces, so he knows he has an audience.

With a prize like that in his mouth, he looks like a champion on a victory lap. The bun was just the right size for such a short, speedy thief.
