One day, there was a corgi, and with her was her trusted ball. Now this dog was not the brightest or the most graceful, but she had a dream. This dream was to one day win the World Pup, the ultimate test of talent for any soccer-loving canine around the world. So every day and every night, this pup trained her hardest to become the best soccer dog ever. Her bounds went from clumsy to calculated, and she scored goal after goal after goal. Every single move she made, she made with her favorite soccer ball.
Finally, she felt ready. She convinced her owners to take her to the World Pup, and got prepared to team up with her fellow corgis to take home the trophy. They won the first round, and then the second, and found themselves squaring up against the Australian Shepherds. They played their hearts out, and were evened up with the much larger dogs until tragedy struck. Our corgi’s favorite ball, in the heat of the game, tore upon and got destroyed!
She was absolutely devastated, and while she still tried to play, it just simply wasn’t the same, and in the end, they just barely lost. Her ball was gone and she didn’t make it to the top. She went home in a slump, and thought she would never play again. However, when she woke up the next day, she saw a miracle: her owners has taken home her ball and put it back together, good as new! Our corgi friend realized then that she didn’t care about being the best, or for winning the World Pup. All she cared about was that she had her favorite ball back.
This has been my story, based on my own beloved corgi Maggie. Her favorite toy is her fake soccer ball, and we often make jokes about her joining the World Pup, so I decided to roll with this and spin it into a story of attachment, heartache, and most importantly, a very, very good dog.
