Real-life dog behind Dogecoin (DOGE) meme reportedly seriously ill

THE real-life dog behind the infamous Dogecoin (DOGE) meme is reportedly seriously ill, according to the dog’s owner.

Kabosu, the dog behind the face of Dogecoin (DOGE), fell “dangerously” ill over Christmas.

“Apparently, the situation is very dangerous,” wrote Atsuko Satō, a Japanese kindergarten teacher and Kabosu’s owner, in an Instagram post.

“But it will be alright. It’s going to be alright.”

She added: “Because we get our power from all over the world! Thank you very much everyone.”

The Shiba Inu dog became famous when Dogecoin creators Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer used the face of the dog on its cryptocurrency coin, which was also famously pushed by Twitter owner Elon Musk.

In fact, Markus shared the IG post from Satō on Twitter in which she revealed that Kabosu went to the vet on December 26.

“Not drinking or eating. Going to the hospital today,” the post read.

Markus wrote: “doge (kabosu) is sick 🙁 please send her and @kabosumama your ❤️ and 🙏 and good vibes ~”
