Leah Braly recorded the moment her three children learned they were bringing home a rescue corgi. She had mentioned getting a corgi as a wish for her 40th birthday, and the family already had a golden retriever named Teddy. Her 10-year-old son, Deacon, had long been enthusiastic about corgis. After about a year of searching, Braly found a Facebook post from a man reenlisting in the military who was seeking a family for his corgi, Hank, and arranged a meeting.
Key details:
- Braly said she told her husband Ben that a corgi was what she wanted for her 40th birthday.
- Deacon, the family's 10-year-old son, had been obsessed with corgis for years and the children welcomed the idea.
- A Hartley Law review of more than 67,000 Petfinder listings across large U.S. cities found corgis did not rank in the top 20 breeds, and a NAIA Shelter Project study reported about 5% of shelter dogs are purebred.
- A man reenlisting in the military posted on Facebook seeking a home for his corgi, Hank; the family met Hank and decided to adopt him.
- A TikTok video of the pickup posted to @leahbraly has more than 171,000 views, and Braly says Hank has quickly settled into the household and bonded with the children and Teddy.
Summary:
The video highlights the children's joyful reactions and has reached a wide online audience, offering a simple, uplifting family moment. Hank has settled into the home and formed bonds with the children and the family's golden retriever. Undetermined at this time.
