Popular dog Kabosu, the face of dogecoin and several other meme tokens, died early Friday, her owner wrote in a blog post. She was over 17 years old.

Kabosu’s viral meme picture inspired the creation of dogecoin ($DOGE ) in 2013, initially starting off as a joke currency. DOGE’s success later birthed a whole cohort of dog-themed tokens such as shiba inu ($SHIB ) and floki ($FLOKI ), which have since cumulatively become one of the industry’s biggest sectors.
