The real-life dog that inspired the Dogecoin cryptocurrency has made a miraculous recovery, days after her owner disclosed that she had stopped eating and drinking.
The 17-year-old Shiba Inu, Kabosu, became a global hit after the founders of Dogecoin, Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, placed her image on the coin.
She had chronic lymphocytic leukemia and an inflammatory disease of the liver, and she became ‘dangerously’ ill during the Christmas season.
Kabosu is on the mend despite her owner Atsuko Sat’s worries earlier this week.
Ms. Sat informed her 422,000 followers, many of whom have offered well-wishes, “I’m shocked by how swiftly she recovered.”
The Kabosu Miracle could not have occurred without your warm wishes and prayers.
During the Christmas season, the Shiba Inu named Kabosu became “very unwell.”
The money, which was introduced in 2013, is regarded as the first “meme coin” and “dog coin.”
After five days of appearing gravely ill, the Japanese kindergarten teacher reported that Kabosu was able to consume a complete meal, drink plenty of water, and “no longer required diapers.”
Today, I took her for a five-minute walk at the park. She seems content in the sun and fresh air.
Concerned supporters expressed “tears of happiness” upon hearing the good news.
“The best news of 2022,” stated one person.
On Christmas Eve, Kabosu stopped drinking and eating, necessitating a trip to the veterinarian. Antibiotics were prescribed for her ailments.
In 2013, an image of a Shiba Inu went viral, spawning an avalanche of ‘doge’ memes, and the dog became an instant star.
Later that year, her image was used to start Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that was first intended as a joke but quickly gained its own popularity.
Last year, Dogecoin creator Billy Markus acknowledged that he invented the cryptocurrency as a joke and that he found it hilarious to see Elon Musk promote it.
In 2013, an image of a Shiba Inu went viral, spawning an avalanche of ‘doge’ memes, and the dog became an instant star.
Since then, the rescue dog has amassed a tremendous fan base and is now instantly recognizable.
Her owner earlier commented on Instagram, “I never in a million years would have predicted the impact that my photoshoot of Kabosu would have on the internet.”
It is a moment that has expanded and taken on its own life over the past decade, being shared millions of times and spawning an entire community around the Doge meme.
In 2013, software developers Markus and Palmer formally introduced the Dogecoin currency. It is called the first “meme coin” and “dog coin.”
The backing of Twitter’s owner, Elon Musk, has made it a valuable asset.
Dogecoin reached an all-time high of $0.346254 in April 2021, when Musk appeared on Saturday Night Live and dubbed himself “the Dogefather.”

In April 2022, prices increased by 40 percent due to speculation that Musk, after purchasing Twitter for $44 billion, would integrate the ‘joke’ cryptocurrency into the platform.
Markus verified a year ago that the coin was created as a joke.
He stated, “I’m rather detached, but it’s strange that something I developed in a few hours is now part of online culture.”
It’s amusing to hear Elon Musk discuss it. It seems absurd, yet there is a massive upwelling behind it.
