Let's admit it. Everyone loves dogs or at least has a special place in their hearts for the magical things we call puppies. Personally, I have a soft spot for corgis and all the greatness that they have to offer to the world as sweet fluffers. While they may be small in size, corgis are able to make up with it through their special personality and history. Here is a list of fun facts that you may not about these special puppers.
