The Shiba Inu that inspired the original 'Doge' meme is not Cheems (real name Balltze, who has in fact passed), but instead Kabosu, a 17 year old dog that last year made a recovery from chronic lymphoma leukaemia. Kabosu's owner regularly posts the dog on social media. https://www.instagram.com/balltze/ https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-64124748.amp https://www.instagram.com/kabosumama/
