Doge
Dogs are a popular subject for memes because they are universally loved. In 2010, a Japanese kindergarten teacher named Atsuko Sato posted several pictures of her Shiba Inu dog, Kabosu, on her personal blog, and one of those images became the first “doge” meme. The picture showed Kabosu lying on a couch with his paws tucked and a confused expression on his face. Although there are many photos of Kabosu that could have been used, the one where he’s smiling on the right is our favorite. What a good boy!
The popularity of dog memes is a testament to the special bond that humans have with these loyal companions. Kabosu has become an internet sensation, and his image has been used to express a wide range of emotions, from confusion to joy. It’s amazing how one photo can capture the hearts of millions of people and become a cultural phenomenon. Kabosu is truly a good boy, and his legacy as the original doge meme will live on for years to come.
