The death of the great meme dog​

"Today, on May 24, at 07:50 a.m., Kabosu fell into a deep sleep. On a beautiful morning, when soft light fell from the window, birds were singing outside, she quietly left as she fell asleep while I was stroking her. Thank you for loving her for so long. I think she was the happiest dog in the world. And I was the happiest hostess in the world." — Sato wrote, after which she invited fans of the meme to say goodbye.

One way or another, the memory of a cute dog with crossed paws and a surprised face will forever be immortalized. During her lifetime, she received a monument in her hometown of Sakura (Chiba Prefecture), and millions of memes (and a whole cryptocurrency!) will remain online in her honor.
