Corgi wearing a mermaid tail is the real queen of the sea

The Little Mermaid is boring now.

Move over, Ariel. Human mermaids are boring now.

That's because we have Haiku, a corgi mermaid who lives in Thailand. Haiku is not like most mermaids: for example, instead of swimming, she just sits in shallow water with her tongue out.

But this is not a problem, because Haiku is redefining what it means to be a mermaid. You see, you don't need a human upper body or a shell bra to be part of the mer-community. You don't even need to know how to swim! (We are not sure Haiku knows how to swim.)

All you need to do is ~believe~.

Okay, everyone! Time to add "mer-corgi" to your permanent lexicon.
