It has been 17 years since Kabosu, the abandoned Shiba Inu pup, was adopted and entered the world’s collective conscience as the star of a wildly popular meme. Since then, Kathosu, or simply Doge as the pup is widely known, has inspired a cryptocurrency with an $11.6 billion market cap, a life philosophy, and even a holy pilgrimage to Japan! We, never in our wildest dreams, could have imagined all this, and now a group of filmmakers and community contributors are set to commemorate the pup’s legacy by producing a feature film about Doge’s incredible rise from helpless pup to global icon.

Own the Doge, a Doge-oriented NFT community, and PleasrDAO, a Web3 art and culture collective, have joined forces in this incredible project. To top off the incredible transmedia success of the Doge meme, PleasrDAO recently purchased the rights to the meme image for $4 million worth of Ethereum in 2021. But the film-making project, entitled “The Doge Documentary,” isn’t stopping any time soon. The film-making team and contributors have partnered with the former Hollywood talent agent and producer, Jim Toth, to fundraise further and attract major film distributors, aiming to break through and captivate a massive audience.

Recently, the documentary’s producer, tri dog, released a sneak peek of the film on Twitter, showing off Kabosu, who is now 17 years old after a decade of global fame. Along with the chief director and producer, Jon Lynn, tri dog also mentioned the involvement of Arthur Jones, director of the monumental Pepe the Frog-inspired documentary “Feels Good Man,” and documentarian, Evan Rosenfeld.

This cute pup is known for inspiring millions, so an organization named Doge DAO is offering the perfect opportunity for Dogecoin followers to make a pilgrimage to Kabosu’s residence in Sakura, Japan. Doge DAO will also cover a lucky entry’s total fee of $4,200 plus airfare for owning at least one Doge Pixel NFT. With perfectly customized go-karting, a Geisha performance dinner, and the chance to meet the Doge and her honorary guest Kyle Craven (aka Bad Luck Brain), the itinerary of this trip is sure to leave you inspired!

In addition, PleasrHouse, another project closely affiliated with PleasrDAO, recently kicked off a 24-hour auction for the couch from the original Doge meme photo. The proceeds of twenty-one ETH which the couch was sold have been given to Save the Children, as per the agreement between PleasrDAO and the Own The Doge community. There will also be an open-edition NFT drop to give Kabosu and the charity even more support.

For the pup who has provided the world with a decade of joy, this feature film is sure to be special, tugging at the world’s heartstrings while appreciating the global community and their unconditional love for Kabosu. Boasting a passionate and highly involved audience, the film will no doubt prove to be a unique asset for any film studio to take part in, if the right connections can be made.

Follow Kabosu’s incredible journey — from an abandoned pup to a global icon — in “The Doge Documentary”, the ultimate blockchain-powered film about a pup that put the doge into dogecoin! The film is in production and is expected to be released later this year, so be sure to not miss out!
