The Corgi Cavalry Officer Pulled On a Shako With Feathers Taller Than His Ears

AI imagecorginapoleonic portraitcavalry officer

A tall black shako topped with feathers in deep blue sits on this Corgi's head, with a gold plate shining on the front. The ears stand tall and the face is a cheerful mix of red, cream and white, with bright dark eyes and a big grin hidden somewhere under the whiskers. His coat is navy with a red front and gold braid, and large fringed epaulettes sit on both shoulders. The background is dark, as if it were a night in a candlelit hall. Captain Waffles seems ready to ride, though his legs may need a little help climbing onto the horse.

Corgis are cheerful, smart herding dogs from Wales, and they are known for their foxy faces and short legs. They are active and vocal, and they usually love training, games and being included in family life. Because they are low to the ground with long backs, avoid too many stairs and high jumps, and keep them at a healthy weight. Corgis shed heavily, so brush often. Their herding instinct may show up as nipping at heels, which can be redirected with training and games. A vet can help with feeding and joint care, and daily walks keep this lively breed in good spirits.

A plume like that is hard to ignore, and a Corgi is not a dog to hide from attention. The cavalry may be small, but the spirit is enormous.
