People offer prayers to Kabosu, also known by the nickname Kabo-chan, lying on a cushion surrounded with flowers in Narita, Chiba prefecture, east of Tokyo, Japan, 26 May 2024. Dozens of people gathered at the Kaori flower shop in Narita to bid a final farewell to Kabosu, the Shiba Inu dog that inspired the “Doge” meme and “Dogecoin” cryptocurrency face. Local residents, people from other prefectures like Aichi, about 400 kilometers away, and even foreigners lined up to pay their respects. On 24 May 2024, Atsuko Sato, the owner of Kabosu, announced on social media the passing of the globally famous dog, whose images have been viral for more than a decade.
