He loved cheemburgers and banged others — now the dog Balltze, known on the internet as “Cheems,” passed away last Friday at the age of 12. The owner of the Shiba Inu announced this on Monday via his Instagram channel.
Cheems has had leukemia for a long time. On Friday he then fell asleep during a lumbar puncture and did not wake up again, his owner writes.
Cheems first went viral on the internet in 2017 when a rather hilarious photo of him was posted to his Instagram channel.
Within a short time, the Shiba Inu became a popular meme protagonist. On the online platform Reddit, an entire community has formed around the dog, who likes to eat cheeseburgers and speaks with a speech impediment.
However, Balltze gained more fame in other meme formats, in which he is often teased for his funny chair shape. The ‘bonk memes’ are especially popular – in which Cheems hits others on the head with a baseball bat.
With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Cheems regained online popularity when online group NAFO made him its mascot:
