'Upset' Corgi Sobbing as Lookalike Christmas Decoration Breaks Seen by 4M
A heartbroken Corgi has gained viral attention on TikTok for his reaction to a Christmas-related accident.
With 4.4 million views on the social media platform, the video posted by TikTok user @kh0a earlier this week showed how her light-up Corgi decoration had been broken.
"Someone knocked down my holiday corgi decoration," the text overlay on the video reads: "And my corgi is very upset."
Looking at the decapitated light-up dog, the real Corgi looks very upset, striking a chord with viewers who were taken in by the dog's expression and outraged at the broken ornament.
In the caption, @kh0a wrote a pointed message at the perpetrator: "To the person who upset my corgi and toppled my festive corgi decoration – I hope you're having a day you deserve!"
Newsweek reached out to @kh0a via TikTok for comment.
It's no surprise that holiday decorations with a Corgi theme are well-liked either, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC), The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is the 11th most popular breed in the United States and is consistently ranked in the top 20 most popular breeds in the country.
Known for being alert, affectionate and smart, the breed's popularity has been attributed to its exposure in pop culture, especially on social media and in TV shows like Netflix's The Crown.
The comments section of the TikTok post transformed into a digital support group for the dog, with users expressing everything from sympathy to righteous indignation.
TikTok user Alexa issued a direct call to action and said: "You better go get that baby another Christmas corgi decoration right now."
User A.a echoed the same sentiment, rallying behind the cause with a fervent "Justice for the Corgi," while Sierra passionately exclaimed, "They need to apologize for making that sweet baby upset like that."
TikTok user saranicolato called for justice and wrote: "Jail for whoever dared to do this."
Another joked: "He feels targeted!"
Last year, one dog was caught in the act as the cause of decoration disaster when a festive stocking decoration appeared ripped up with all the hallmarks of doggy damage, including some noticeable tears and bite marks.
The owner told Newsweek at the time: "When Brodie has done something bad, it's really obvious. He gets embarrassed and starts asking for forgiveness immediately. Luna is often bad and has no remorse, it's her world.. I'm just living in it."
Meanwhile, an animal expert revealed which decorations dog owners should avoid this festive season, including toxic festive plants, opting for gentle lighting and preventing too much clutter.
