Lindsay Lowe has been a regular contributor to TODAY.com since 2016, covering pop culture, style, home and other lifestyle topics. She is also working on her first novel, a domestic drama set in rural Regency England.

Kabosu, the Japanese shiba inu who inspired the iconic “doge” meme, has died, her owner announced. The pup’s owner, Atsuko Sato, shared the news Friday in the form of a sweet poem on her blog. “At 7:50 a.m. I fell into a deep sleep,” she wrote in the poem, which was translated by the AFP news agency, according to NBC News. “She quietly passed away as if asleep while I caressed her,” Sato also wrote. “I think Kabo-chan was the happiest dog in the world. And I was the happiest owner.

“I was terrified at the thought that just one photo I had casually posted on my blog could spread all over the world to places I didn’t know,” she said. Kabosu, who was known as “doge” online, even became the face of a cryptocurrency, Dogecoin. Dogecoin was created as a joke by two software engineers in 2013, but it has become one of the biggest cryptocurrencies in the world, according to Forbes. Dogecoin shared a sweet tribute to its namesake on X on May 24.
