If you are an avid social media user, you might have definitely used the ‘Doge’ meme on the Internet. You might have also used his meme face to make a conversation more interesting. However, we come bearing sad news about the dog that inspired the viral meme. The Shiba Inu that goes by the name ‘Kabosu’ has fallen terribly sick and prompted the internet to share heartfelt wishes for its speedy recovery.
Reportedly, the canine has been diagnosed with leukemia and liver disease. Kabosu’s owner Atsuko Sato informed about her dog’s condition on Instagram. The 17-year-old fur baby stopped “eating and drinking voluntarily” on Christmas Eve, she was then diagnosed with acute cholangiohepatitis and chronic lymphoma leukemia.
