Sad news has come from the cryptocurrency world with reports that Kabosu, the Shiba Inu dog who inspired the Dogecoin and Shiba Inu memes, has passed away in her sleep. Kabosu is known as the face behind two popular cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which started as jokes but later became digital assets worth billions of dollars.

Kabosu, a 17-year-old female dog, first appeared on the internet in 2010 after her owner, Atsuko Sato, an elementary school teacher from Japan, posted cute photos of her dog on her blog. One of these photos, featuring Kabosu's unique expression, quickly went viral and became known as "Doge," which then became the primary inspiration behind the creation of Dogecoin by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer.

Kabosu's passing certainly brings deep sorrow to the Dogecoin and Shiba Inu communities. This dog not only became the symbol of two highly successful cryptocurrencies but also a beloved internet icon. Kabosu's legacy will continue to live on through the memes that still circulate and within the cryptocurrency world that she inspired.

For fans and investors of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, Kabosu will always be remembered as the dog who started the journey of these two iconic digital coins.
