Buddy was just a regular rescue pup with a big heart problem and an even bigger spirit—until the early Bitcoin crowd turned him into the first dog forever etched on the blockchain.
Picture this: it’s around 2011-2013. Alexandra (she went by “icicle” on Bitcointalk back then) is deep in the wild west of early crypto. She’d scooped up about 51 BTC when it was still pocket change. Life’s messy, the exchange (Intersango, formerly Britcoin) locks up her coins, and then she finds Buddy—a shelter dog sitting by the side of a highway, needing serious heart surgery for something like subaortic stenosis.
She doesn’t just post a sad story. She fights for him. Threads go up: “Help me save Buddy!” Real talk about locked funds, vet bills, the whole deal. The early Bitcoin community sees it. Months before Dogecoin even launches in December 2013, Buddy’s already tied to the chain through pure human (and dog) grit. Some anonymous supporter later steps up with real help covering costs. Buddy gets the surgery in November 2014 at the University of Florida, comes through it, heads home, and months later his heart’s stable. He’s doing fine. Best boy energy.
But the permanent part happens earlier. On May 9, 2014—Bitcoin’s sitting around $440, Dogecoin’s only a few months old—somebody embeds a quiet little message in block 299,825 via OP_RETURN: “Buddy is the best dog in the world.”
That’s it. Eight words. No hype, no token, no launch. Just a permanent, uneditable note sitting on every full node forever. He’s the first animal recorded on Bitcoin like that. The first widely known cat inscription doesn’t show up until 142 days later. Buddy’s just… there. Undeletable. Unruggable. The original on-chain dog.
For years almost nobody notices. The message sits quiet while dog memes explode, Dogecoin becomes a cultural force, Shiba, Bonk, all the rest. Then recently the community digs it back up. They find the old threads, reconnect with Alexandra, confirm the story, and turn the legend into $BUDDY on Solana (community takeover and all). Suddenly the first crypto dog isn’t just lore—he’s got a token, a Telegram, people still calling him the best boy on chain, and a mission that circles back to helping real dogs.
It’s not some manufactured mascot. It’s a real rescue with a heart condition, a woman who refused to quit, locked coins that wouldn’t move, anonymous kindness from early Bitcoiners, and one permanent line of text that outlasted everything. Buddy didn’t ask to start the dog-coin era. He just needed surgery and a chance. The chain made sure the world would never fully forget him.
So yeah… Buddy is still the best dog in the world. And now the whole network carries the proof.
A wild coyote named Wendy is going viral in Los Angeles because of a huge growth on her face.
She has been living like this for over a year, and people in the neighborhood know her by name and have seen her walking near homes and standing at people's doors.
Wildlife Care of Southern California has been trying to catch her for weeks so they can examine her, X-ray the growth, and finally give her medical treatment.
The rescue organization also posted on Facebook asking people to donate to help cover the rescue equipment and Wendy’s upcoming vet bills.
They said they will not give up until they catch her and get her the help she needs.
This is not only the next Jimothy, this is giga next Jimothy because we have a charity mission to save WENDY.
We are going to onboard Wildlife Care of Southern California
100% of fees going to Wildlife Care of Southern California to save WENDY

Bobo was the first token launched by Marcello.
After the project was left behind, the community stepped in and decided that Bobo deserved another chance.
Bobo was the beginning.
Now it’s Bobohood. 🐻💚

Everyone chases the next dog.
Meanwhile, the first crypto dog is waking up.
$BUDDY 👀🐶
Sometimes the oldest narrative is the one the market forgets… until it doesn’t.
