The **Doge** meme originated from a 2010 photograph of a Shiba Inu named **Kabosu**, adopted by Japanese kindergarten teacher Atsuko Sato. The meme gained popularity in 2013 when internet users began overlaying the image with **Comic Sans captions** featuring broken English and internal monologue-style text (e.g., *such wow, very scare*). Doge became a cultural phenomenon, inspiring Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency initially created as a joke. Over time, the meme evolved into various spin-offs, including **Cheems** and **Swole Doge vs. Cheems**, cementing its place in meme history. Doge remains one of the most recognizable and beloved internet memes.
