Kabosu, a female rescue dog from Japan, is the dog featured in the iconic Twitter logo. The photo that was used for the logo shows Kabosu in a special pose with a squinting and artificial smile, which later became a popular meme called 'Doge'. Kabosu is still living with her owner, Atsuko Sato, in Sakura, Japan, and is still known as Dodge by her fans.
Recently, Elon Musk changed the Twitter logo from the blue bird to a picture of Dodge. It was speculated that he did this to promote Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that was named after Kabosu. The move led to a 30% increase in the price of Dogecoin, and Elon Musk has tweeted about it. He also shared an old conversation screenshot in which a user asked him to buy Twitter and replace its blue bird logo with Dodge. Elon Musk's response to this was 'As I promised.'
