The Legend of Doge: A Meme That Captured the Internet’s Heart**

Doge, the iconic Shiba Inu meme, is a cornerstone of internet culture. Originating in 2010 from a photo of Kabosu, a Japanese dog, it exploded in 2013 when users added Comic Sans captions in broken English like “such wow,” “very [adjective],” and “much [noun].” The quirky, multicolored text juxtaposed with the dog’s bewildered expression struck a chord, spreading rapidly across Reddit, Tumblr, and beyond.

Doge transcended memedom, inspiring merchandise, art, and even Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that started as a joke but gained serious traction. Its charm lies in its absurdity and positivity, uniting online communities with lighthearted humor.

Years later, Doge remains a symbol of internet whimsy, proving that simplicity and silliness can leave a lasting legacy. “Very timeless. Much nostalgia. Wow.”
