‘Cheems the Dog’ became an internet icon thanks to the image that has been used in countless memes. The image shows Balltze with a surprised expression on her face, and has been used creatively to express a wide variety of emotions and humorous situations.
The viral history of the meme
To account for the history of the most successful meme during the coronavirus quarantine, back in 2020, we must go back to the origin of Cheems, a very popular Ironic Doge character for his practice of devouring cheeseburgers that he named as “Cheemsburger”.
According to the Know Your Meme encyclopedia of memes, the first copy of the image was uploaded on May 16 of that year to the Reddit forum by the user DiegoGamer.

In it, this netizen made a joke about how at 17 his father already had a house, a job and children, and he at that age was simply wishing he was a “cute anime girl”.
In the following days, other people were using this model from Reddit until it was first extended by Facebook, and later on Twitter and Instagram.

The image that is shared, even with different messages, is usually the same: on the left, there is a photomontage of a large, strong dog and, on the right, a weaker, smaller dog. This montage, although used in different contexts, it is used to compare two eras with each other and parody the changes that were made.
