Tank the Lab Mix from Minnesota
My name is Tank and I'm from St. Cloud, MN. I'm a mix of black lab and corgi. Mommy arranged to buy a purebred corgi from a breeder. She bought toys and bones and everything. But when she went to the breeder to pick the dog up, the breeder had sold the dog to someone else. Mommy was devastated. She went straight to the Humane Society. There I was, sitting quietly in my kennel. It was love at first sight. I reminded her of her childhood dog, but shorter. Much, much shorter. They were calling me Fred, but I was quickly renamed Tank. People say I look like a midget lab, but the vet says I have a lot of classic corgi features. I love to clown around and I'm very friendly. One of my favorite things to do is chase my tail, but I can never get it, so I always give up and go for my leg instead.

Hi Tank!
You are beyond adorable. I love your white toe.

Hi Tank! I am so glad your mom found you - it was just meant to happen, you know.

Oh my goodness! I had a dog just like this 4 or 5 years ago!
We thought she was a dwarfed lab we assumed it was because she and her littermates were discovered at a meth lab and thought it had something to do with the toxins, chemicals, whatever she was breathing in there....perhaps its just a corgi-side to her we never knew? I will forward this on to her current family!
And of course, tank is beautiful!!!

WOW!!! I though I would never see a black lab - corgi mix in my life again after the loss of my old family dog. Her name was Tela, the warriar captain from the 80's cartoon "He-Man". I bet she's a bundle of joy and has trouble like ours when trying to do tricks like "roll over".
