A dedicated NFT community, the rightful owners of the original ‘Doge’ meme, is joining forces with local authorities to erect a real-life monument in honor of Kabuso, the dog that served as the muse for the meme.

The unveiling of this statue is scheduled for November 2 in Sakura, Japan, which also happens to be Kabuso’s birthday.

This collaborative effort involves the City of Sakura and enthusiastic community members. The statue will find its permanent home in Sakura Furusato Square, a place frequently visited by Kabosu and her owner for leisurely strolls.

Supporters of Kabosu, the Japanese Shiba Inu dog famous for being the inspiration behind the Doge meme and Dogecoin, successfully fundraised last year to create a statue in her honor. They even have ambitious aspirations of eventually putting this statue on the moon.

To celebrate this achievement, the community intends to organize engaging events. People who participate will have the opportunity to meet Sato (Kabosu) in person, and those who own specific NFTs will receive special privileges as a token of appreciation.

PleasrDAO is a collective of NFT enthusiasts who invest in valuable NFTs and foster communities, such as Own The Doge. They interpret “DOGE” as an acronym for “Do Only Good Everyday” and actively support charitable causes worldwide.

Additionally, Own The Doge is currently in the process of producing a documentary that chronicles the life of Kabuso and the ascent of the famous “Doge” meme.

The doge meme originated in 2010 when Atsuko Sato took a picture of her dog Kabosu for her blog. Its popularity rose when John Monarch, the user who shared the image from Atsuko’s blog, coined the name “doge” for the dog on Reddit, causing it to go viral.
