Meet Benni, the Mexican corgi who steals hearts and snacks alike. He’s raised with culture, tamales, and endless family love. He knows Spanish commands and starts every morning with a “Buenos Días” paw shake, and like any spoiled only dog child, he always gets his way.His name says it all: Bad Benni, inspired by Bad Bunny. He even showed up to Corgi Con dressed as the Un Verano Sin Ti album cover. That’s just who he is: full of personality, a little travieso, and always ready to steal the spotlight.Sundays are sacred in our family: carne asada on the grill, the 49ers on the TV, and Benni right there at his grandpa’s side waiting for the sacred first carne asada piece, which usually was reserved for us. He never misses it. If there’s food, family, and 49ers football, Benni has to be at the center of it all. He’s got the biggest case of FOMO you’ve ever seen.

Bad Benni

Walter’s dad grew up going to Candlestick Park since he was a little boy watching the Niners play, and his mom has also been a Niners fan since she was a kid! So, of course, Walter was quickly converted to a Niners fan as soon as we took him home with us in Jun ’22. Walter has been the best addition to our little family and is the sweetest and silliest corgi around! Walter may not be the biggest corgi but has the biggest personality of them all! He can sprint &amp; catch any ball thrown his way and is the MVP wide receiver when out in the park playing fetch, not to mention the quickest 40-yard dash in the league! He LOVES people and will do just about anything for a biscuit - racing on the Niners field would be a dream come true for our little potato and would mean the world to his pawrents, too.

She brought some of the other pups out of their shells, and the trainers loved it!

Proof that aerodynamic design is 80% fluff and 20% wheels. Standing between him and food may cause turbulence. His wheels aren’t just for mobility, they’re for maximum snack speed efficiency. His wheelchair has more miles than your car. He’s paralyzed in his back legs, but never his spirit! Built-in radar for snacks.   They call it wheels, I call it “turbo engine.” Who needs four legs when you’ve got 2 wheels and endless snacks? Snack-powered, gravity-defying. Not disabled - just differently turbocharged.

Rocket

Stubbs has a big heart and even bigger personality! Being a tripawd does not slow him down at all - he's speedy and loves a good game of chase. He stops every passerby in the neighborhood for mandatory bellyrubs and knows how to get what he wants. He is super playful and overall quite a ham (physically and spiritually).

Stubbs

Will only drink cold water. Pro fake sleeper. WR1 if the ball is a treat. Favorite holiday is his birthday. Consumes In-N-Out patties in 10 seconds. Not scared of firetrucks but scared of skateboards. Wrestles like he’s in the WWE.Will use the human as shade. Bachelor’s Degree in Ball Knowledge. Favorite sport is judging. Eyebrows on fleek.Loves zoomies at the beach.
