Queen Elizabeth II has long been associated with Corgis.
After a visit to Thomas Thynne, 5th Marquess of Bath in 1933, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret made it well known to their family that they liked the Corgis owned by the Marquess.
Their father, Prince Albert, Duke of York (later George VI), purchased the Pembroke Corgi Rozavel Golden Eagle, from the Rozavel kennels in Surrey.
It was renamed Dookie.

Princess Elizabeth was then given a Pembroke Corgi of her own, named Susan, for her 18th birthday in 1944.
She had a strong connection to the dog, which was hidden under rugs in the Royal Carriage following her wedding to Prince Philip.
Susan became the progenitor of all the Corgis owned by the Royal Household since.
The Queen has bred ten generations of dogs from Susan, owning personally more than 30 of the dogs which were either pure-bred Pembroke Welsh Corgis or crossbreed Corgi/Dachshunds called Dorgis.

Corgis have also appeared on screen, stage and in novels.
Corgis as characters were incorporated into the storybook fantasies Corgiville Fair, The Great Corgiville Kidnapping, and Corgiville Christmas of American author and illustrator Tasha Tudor.
In 1963, a Corgi was featured in the Walt Disney film Little Dog Lost, which led to an increase in popularity for the breed within the United States.
A theatrical adaptation took place of Welsh author Roald Dahl's The BFG which toured the UK in 1991 required several different Corgis to perform on stage as those of Queen Elizabeth.
The Queen's Corgi is a Belgian animated film depicting the Queen's Corgis.

In the anime Cowboy Bebop, the crew has a super-intelligent Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Ein, on their ship.
The Top Shelf graphic novel Korgi plays on the folklore tradition of the Corgi as a faerie draft animal.
It features the "Mollies" (fairy-like beings) who live in close relationship with the land and their Korgi friends, who are based on and resemble the Welsh Corgi breeds.

In the "Mrs. Murphy" mystery series by Rita Mae Brown & Sneaky Pie Brown, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi is one of the main animal characters.
The series, set in Albemarle County, Virginia, includes both human and animal characters, and the animals often solve the mysteries before the humans.
