Being the Queen's favorite is not the only thing that makes Corgis as popular as they are. This cattle herding dog breed has a huge desire to be involved in the family they live with, following the owners wherever they go. A Corgi's eagerness to please makes them highly trainable; however, some individuals are quite stubborn, so training them might require a professional trainer's services. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi lineage can be traced back as far as 1107 AD, but Ancient lore says the Corgis were given to people by fairies who used them as their war horses. So, you were right - the cuteness of Corgis is, undoubtedly, otherworldly.
