The myth
As the
Corgi has been farm workers in Wales in ages, it is not surprising
that there are many tales and legends about them.
One of
those legends, are the one about how the corgi came
to live in Wales and it's south-west hills.
The
legend says that 2 children, that was watching the familys cattle,
one day found 2 puppies they thought was fox-puppies.
When
the children took home the puppies it was said that the small
dogs was a gift from the fairys.
According to the legend the fairys used the dogs to draw their wagons
and to ride on. While the small fox-like dogs grew,
they learned to help their human companions, watching the cattles.
A task that became the daily work for their offspring for several hundred
of years.
If
anyone would ever doubt the truth of this legend,
you can still see the marks from the saddles the fairys used,
on the corgis shoulders.
