So, are Corgis buoyant dogs? Turns out Corgis can float in water and it's all down to a spot of science, or to be exact the shape of a Corgi's butt.
The playful dog breed is well known for its soft and fluffy behind which gives them a distinctive run.
Corgis float in water because their behind consists of 79.4 percent air, as opposed to being made up of muscle fibres, explaining exactly why Corgi butt's float to the surface. Corgis have a hollow butt, earning them the nickname “bubble butt”.
We challenge you to find an even cuter quirk in your canine companion!
