Kabosu, the Shiba Inu dog behind the face of Dogecoin and the “doge” meme is in a “dangerous position” healthwise, according to her owner.
In a Dec. 26 Instagram post that was then shared on Twitter, Atsuko Satō, a Japanese kindergarten teacher and Kabosu’s owner, said in Japanese that the rescue dog was in a "dangerous" state, but assured her followers that the canine will be “absolutely fine” and is “getting power from all over the world” from supporters.
The news brought an outpouring of support. One Twitter user sending well wishes offered to fully cover “any expenses needed to make sure she gets the best treatment.”
