A doge is just a Shiba Inu that was turned into a meme. Said meme was popular in the early 2010s, and slowly died down over the years. The dog featured in the doge meme is a Shiba Inu named Kabosu (かぼす in Japanese), born on November 2nd, 2005. She is currently 16 years old, a great accomplishment, considering 16 human years is equivalent to 80 dog years. So, to sum it up: Doge, an internet meme that sky rocketed in 2013 and died down overtime. Based on a real Shiba Inu named Kabosu, or かぼす in Japanese. Kabosu is currently 16, equivalent to 80 years old for a dog.
That's the doge.

Get the doge bot mug.A meme featuring a dog staring at the camera with several phrases in Comic Sans written in broken English, that circulated around the internet after Japanese teacher Atsuko Sato took photos of her Shiba Inu and posted them on her blog. The "Doge" moniker comes from a joke by TV show Homestar Runners, in which a character calls someone a "D-O-G-E".
The first instance of Doge being used outside the blog was a now archived Reddit post titled "LMBO LOOK @ THIS FU**EN DOGE." It then spread to more of Reddit and eventually reached mainstream meme culture. Several variations of the meme were made while it spread, such as Doge Twinkie, Buff Doge, and more.
Public recognization of the meme has been widespread, and Doge even got a cryptocurrency named after him, DogeCoin. YouTube released an easter egg which changes the interface to the Doge style when the user searches up 'doge meme'.

I got an email about a potential room mate but I have to send them money first. Total DOGE Check.
