You are going to root for him so hard. Unfortunately for this brave little warrior, corgis are simply not built for trying to clear any sort of obstacle. They are basically built like sausage with tiny little stumps for legs. They always seem to try their hardest, though, and sometimes they [do succeed](https://youtu.be/a-iBlh9fmSE "undefined").
