Netflix 's live-action Cowboy Bebop series has cast all of its main human characters but the Swordfish's brainy pooch Ein is still unknown. Speculation on whether Ein will be Welsh Corgi like the original or some other breed (one rumor even suggested a Husky) caught the attention of the series' executive producer and writer Christopher Yost.

Yost confirmed on Twitter on that Ein was always planned to be a Welsh Corgi.

in the nearly three years i've been working on it, there has not been a single day where ein was anything other than a welsh corgi. #CowboyBebop — christopher yost (@yost) May 5, 2019
