Kabosu, internet sensation dog that inspired meme and Dogecoin, has died, her owner says

The Japanese shiba inu dog that became an internet sensation and inspired a $23-billion cryptocurrency has died, her owner says.

The Japanese dog whose photo inspired a generation of oddball online jokes and the $23-billion Dogecoin cryptocurrency beloved by Elon Musk died on Friday, her owner said. 'She quietly passed away as if asleep while I caressed her,' Atsuko Sato wrote on her blog, thanking the fans of her shiba inu, whose name was Kabosu -- the face of the 'Doge' meme. 'I think Kabo-chan was the happiest dog in the world. And I was the happiest owner,' Sato wrote.

The memes typically used goofy broken English to reveal the inner thoughts of Kabosu and other shiba inu 'doge' -- pronounced like pizza 'dough' but with a 'j' at the end. The picture also later became an NFT digital artwork that sold for $4 million and inspired Dogecoin, which was started as a joke by two software engineers and is now the eighth-most valuable cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $23 billion.
