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.
This should be so very wrong, but somehow it feels… appropriate… a meme of true peace.
RIP Kabosu.
Poor taste, yet mandatory.
Much like the internet itself.
😭
very appreciate
I’m surprised she was still alive. And 18 is an amazing age for a dog, even a smaller one like her.
She looked great for her age too, her owner really took care of kabosu.
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.
All of us.
Get along little doge.
A wave doesn’t die, it returns to the sea. Kabosu’s echo will ring louder than the barks they made on this earth.
Rest in power, friendo.
Well now what is dogecoin backed by?
Surely it loses all value now doge herself is dead?
Don’t worry friendo, Dogecoin is just as stable and sound a currency as it ever was…
much sad, lots good memories
very RIP
RIP pup! Here’s my two knuckleheads, Riolu (black and tan with creeping tan) and Jango (red)
Is Riolu not a sesame?
Edit: here’s mine, Nibbler (black and tan) and Yoshi
Aww! They’re adorable! Love the names too!
No, Riolo isn’t a sesame. There are similar color schemes but I think the breeder was a shady backyard breeder. She was all black and tan and then the head got that tan/red color as she aged.
Ah okay I couldn’t see her back so it just looked sesame. They’re cute as heck.
Thank you!
thank you for paying pup tax upfront
It is my genuine pleasure!
Genuinely has to be in the top 5 most iconic memes of the internet age. RIP Doggie ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for the smiles
Ngl, I’m tearing up to this. 18 is a long time for a dog, some breeds don’t typically live passed a handful of years. I’ve got a lil pup of my own and this just reminds me to be grateful for having him while I still do. Gonna give him some extra happy pets today while I try not to tear up. God I love dogs.
They are testing the life extension drugs on our bigger breeds of dogs currently. If the drugs work, then even the bigger breeds could live till 20 or so. It will also pave the way for human testing, since that’s much harder to get past the FDA
But he will love forever in our collective consciousness. RIP.
Wow, much memory, very live on in our hearts
much sad. very grieve. wow
RIP to the good girl
Not world news, but I’ll make an exception. Sleep well, puppers.
Not world news
Someone begs to differ…
It was front page on the BBC as well.
I remember seeing this dog die before. Wtf dejavu
You might have been confused with Cheems, which died last year
You might be thinking of Longcat, who died a few years back. Or maybe Gabe the Dog
Or maybe confused with Grumpy Cat?
No. None of the replies. I saw a dog, chiba something.
Probably Cheems, this guy
Yess. Thanks
