Herding rats?

I was talking to friend, a vet., yesterday, he claimed that there was an additional historical use for a Corgi!

He told me that Corgis were used to herd rats back onto ships bound for the Continent during an outbreak of Bubonic Plague in seventeenth century London.

Has anyone heard of this before, was there any historical reference for this claim? Or my pal is just joking with me?
