Why is the Shiba Inu plastered all over crypto a real dog?
On November 2, 2023, a bronze statue of the dog was erected in a plaza in Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture. The dog was named Kabosu, and her owner was a local kindergarten teacher. She was adopted from a breeding facility in 2008. In 2010, her owner posted a photo of her on a blog: the one where she tilts her head and crosses her front paws later became the original image for the vast majority of Doge memes (as reported by Atlas Obscura and the BBC). Kabosu passed away in 2024.
$DOGE ’s name and avatar come from that photo; the token has no other connection to the dog. The statue still stands in that plaza in Sakura City.
