Let us bow our heads and pray to Reflection Corgi, the patron saint of selfless gifts and confusing mirrors.

If you didn't know about the deep altruism of the noble corgi -- dogs known for having both the purest hearts and funniest butts -- you know now.

In this video, uploaded to Twitter by author and literary agent Eric Smith, a corgi attempts to give its reflection its prized bone.

Perhaps the corgi sees pain behind that reflection's eyes and knows it could use the pick me up.

Perhaps the corgi's love language is "Receiving Gifts" and he's just doing what he feels is right.

Perhaps the corgi understands that it's a reflection and he's attempting to cross a dimensional barrier to the mirror universe of our own.

Nobody but the corgi can know why it does what it does.

The only thing that's certain? It is a very nice video to look at.
