Kabosu, the Dog Behind the ‘Doge’ Meme, Has Died
Kabosu, the dog behind the ‘doge’ meme, has died at the age of 18, according to her owner.
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.

I'm surprised she was still alive. And 18 is an amazing age for a dog, even a smaller one like her.

Rest in power, friendo.

36 0 ReplyRIP pup! Here’s my two knuckleheads, Riolu (black and tan with creeping tan) and Jango (red)
33 4 ReplyIs Riolu not a sesame?
Edit: here’s mine, Nibbler (black and tan) and Yoshi
16 0 ReplyAww! 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.

Genuinely has to be in the top 5 most iconic memes of the internet age. RIP Doggie ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for the smiles
25 0 ReplyNgl, 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.
24 0 ReplyThey 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
