Allow me to share this charming tidbit from the Facts Republic website.



"According to Welsh mythology and folklore, fairies once rode corgis into battle, using the small dogs as their war steeds. Stories say the fair folk also hitched them to tiny fairy carriages and used them to herd their cattle across hidden fields. Traditional tales claim the saddle-shaped markings on a corgi’s coat come from the fairy tack and harness that once rested on their backs."

I now would like a Battle Corgi so that I can strike fear into the hearts of my enemies. (Assuming that they don't fall all over themselves cooing with delight.)
