RIP to a real one.

Doge, real name Kabosu, has sadly passed away after being diagnosed with leukemia and liver disease. “She quietly passed away as if asleep while I caressed her," wrote Kabosu’s owner in a blog post, per the BBC. “I think Kabo-chan was the happiest dog in the world. And I was the happiest owner.”


The owner believed the dog to be around 18 years old.



While the doge meme started around 14 years ago (time flies, huh?), it’s certainly had a long tail (pun unavoidable). The meme has been a part of countless moments of internet history, ranging from simple image macros to the cryptocurrency boom, where the dog became the face of Dogecoin.



Given this legacy, the internet was quick to extol the lasting legacy of this particular pup.






Rest in peace, and for one last time, good boy.
