This good corgi was fat-shamed and his owner is not having it

Why would you insult this good boy?

No matter how cute you are, it seems that the internet's gonna find some reason to hate you.

Meet Pax, a very good corgi. This good boy loves getting pampered at PetSmart, so his owner posted a picture of him enjoying his grooming time.

Unfortunately, as is the nature of the internet, people had less than kind things to say about the pooch. A few users called the dog obese and overweight.

After a few exchanges in the comment section, Pax's owner dragged the fat-shaming user, announcing that at 26 pounds, Pax is a healthy weight for an adult male corgi.

She had a few choice words and clearly will not stand for the fat-shaming of her dog.

"Go troll on someone else's page and find something better to do than hate on a precious dog that looks better than you ever will," Pax's owner wrote to the haters.

Many rallied their support for Pax, including a surprising like from the one and only Chrissy Teigen.

Let's stop fat-shaming perfectly healthy corgis, people, and start celebrating doggos of all breeds, shapes, and sizes instead.
