One of Murica's greatest meme warriors crossed the rainbow bridge on Friday.
Remember, Doge....Heroes get remembered, but legends live forever.
Kabosu, the Japanese dog whose image prompted the “doge” meme and the Dogecoin cryptocurrency, has died at the estimated age of 18.
The Shiba Inu’s owner, Atsuko Sato, said she “went very peacefully.” Kabosu was a rescue dog, so her exact age wasn’t known. She dealt with leukaemia and liver disease late in 2022.

However, Kabosu’s greatest practical impact might have been felt in her home country. Sato told Know Your Meme in 2020 that many Japanese people became interested in rescue dogs thanks to Kabosu. In that sense, Sato’s blog and the doge meme might have saved many canine lives.
