Atsuko Sato, the owner of the Dogecoin Dog informed the world about the passing of Kabosu through a blog post, explaining how she was suffering for a long. Kabosu has not been doing well since 2022 because of liver disease, further with leukemia.
She quietly passed away as if asleep while I caressed her. I think Kabo-chan was the happiest dog in the world. And I was the happiest owner, said Sato
