Kabosu, the shiba inu dog whose quizzical expression starred in an array of 'doge' internet memes, has died, its owner said Friday. A picture of Kabosu with a slight side-eyed look went viral around 2013 on Tumblr and various online chatrooms, before it became known as 'doge,' one of the most iconic and recognized images of the social web era.
In 2014 the public transport authority in Stockholm, Sweden, launched an advertising campaign using the doge meme, with captions such as 'such cheap,' 'many summer' and 'wow.' So proud is Sakura of its famous canine mascot that the doge image has been used on manhole covers and a bronze statue of Kabosu was unveiled earlier this year, paid for by donations from fans around the world.
