Kabosu, the dog behind the "doge" meme, has died. The Japanese shiba inu inspired a generation of online jokes and became the face of Dogecoin cryptocurrency. She had been suffering from leukaemia and liver disease and died on 24 May, her owner said. "She quietly passed away as if asleep while I caressed her," Atsuko Sato wrote on her blog, thanking Kabosu's fans. As a rescue dog, Kabosu's real birthday was unknown, but Ms Sato estimated her age at 18.
