If you've ever wondered how on earth corgis became the most adored dogs on the internet, you should step back and take a very good look at them. The universal popularity of corgis has partly to do with their appearance: chunky bod, long tongue, stumpy legs, and permanently smiling face.
In fact, corgis are not nearly as beautiful as Weimaraners or as perfect as Labrador retrievers, but they’re beautiful in their own, very cute way. Their approachable character and super optimistic vibes are what make them stand out from other dog breeds. Corgis' fun looks perfectly work in an online environment ruled by funny and cutesy animals.
When you think about it, corgis make perfect meme material with their "what now?" resting pose which reflects our own state of being.
No wonder social media is currently ruled by corgi accounts where people are sharing pics of their fluffy friends daily. Rachel, a founder of the UKDogsofInsta page on Instagram, believes that corgis' popularity on the internet has fueled the breed’s renaissance in real life.
“People are hugely influenced by what they see online and it is no surprise that some of the dogs that are most popular on Instagram are impacting on the popularity of dog breeds in real life.”
“This is great news for the Pembroke Welsh corgi, which is a breed that has long been struggling to get noticed in the UK,” Rachel told the press.
