"Well, experience the reality at this year's Corgi Con, an annual gathering of the corgis held this month at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. The organizers bill the convention as the largest corgi event in Corgifornia and probably the world, and who's going to fact-check them on that? Regularly held at San Francisco's Ocean Beach before regulations forced it into the suburbs, Corgi Con attracts legions of these short-legged, fluffy-bottomed hounds, whose name is Welsh for dwarf dog."
"There are usually speed races and a giant group picture that should provide phone-background happiness for a year. Also merch, from vendors selling everything from keychains and corgi plushies to patterned dog scarves. Note: Other dog breeds are welcome, and will be treated like honorary corgis for the day. Details: Event takes place 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Alameda County Fairgrounds, 2005 Valley Avenue, Gate 8, Pleasanton; $11.20, corgicon.com"
