Kabosu, the dog behind the ‘doge’ meme, has died at the age of 18, according to her owner.

Not sure if this counts as “world news”, but RIP Doge :(

Edit: Kabosu’s owner had this to say on Instagram:

To all of you who loved Kabosu,

On the morning of the 24th of May, Kabosu crossed the rainbow bridge. Thank you all so much for your support over the years.

She went very peacefully without suffering, as if falling asleep while feeling the warmth of my hands petting her.

Thank you all so much for loving Kabosu all these years.

I am certain that Kabosu was the happiest dog in the world.

That makes me the happiest owner in the world.

I would like to express my deepest appreciation to everyone who has sent us much love to us.

    I’m surprised she was still alive. And 18 is an amazing age for a dog, even a smaller one like her.

        It’s good to know she died well-loved. That’s how every dog should die and it’s heartbreaking that so many don’t.
