Kabosu, the Dog Behind the ‘Doge’ Meme, Has Died

Not sure if this counts as “world news”, but RIP Doge :(

Edit: Kabosu’s owner had this to say on Instagram:

To all of you who loved Kabosu,

On the morning of the 24th of May, Kabosu crossed the rainbow bridge. Thank you all so much for your support over the years.

She went very peacefully without suffering, as if falling asleep while feeling the warmth of my hands petting her.

Thank you all so much for loving Kabosu all these years.

I am certain that Kabosu was the happiest dog in the world.

That makes me the happiest owner in the world.

I would like to express my deepest appreciation to everyone who has sent us much love to us.

Feathercrown,

RIP :(

RIP to the good girl

feedum_sneedson,

Never really understood the meme, because it’s just a normal picture of a normal dog. However, thanks for being a dog there friend.

Ngl, I’m tearing up to this. 18 is a long time for a dog, some breeds don’t typically live passed a handful of years. I’ve got a lil pup of my own and this just reminds me to be grateful for having him while I still do. Gonna give him some extra happy pets today while I try not to tear up. God I love dogs.

AngryCommieKender,

They are testing the life extension drugs on our bigger breeds of dogs currently. If the drugs work, then even the bigger breeds could live till 20 or so. It will also pave the way for human testing, since that’s much harder to get past the FDA

Will pour out some dogecoin for my boy – RIP Kabosu

sunbytes,

Well now what is dogecoin backed by?

Surely it loses all value now doge herself is dead?

Mouselemming,

Don’t worry friendo, Dogecoin is just as stable and sound a currency as it ever was…

wjrii,

This should be so very wrong, but somehow it feels… appropriate… a meme of true peace.

RIP Kabosu.

WhatAmLemmy,

Poor taste, yet mandatory.

psycho_driver,

Much like the internet itself.

Is Riolu not a sesame?

Edit: here’s mine, Nibbler (black and tan) and Yoshi https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/00c30ac9-9bcd-4575-8eee-963a024cded3.jpeg

WindyRebel,

Aww! They’re adorable! Love the names too!

No, Riolo isn’t a sesame. There are similar color schemes but I think the breeder was a shady backyard breeder. She was all black and tan and then the head got that tan/red color as she aged.

die444die,

Ah okay I couldn’t see her back so it just looked sesame. They’re cute as heck.

WindyRebel,

Thank you!

noodlejetski,

thank you for paying pup tax upfront

WindyRebel,

It is my genuine pleasure!

noodlejetski,

wow :(
