Summary: Gabe the Dog was a miniature American Eskimo and Pomeranian dog. Although he seems like a normal dog, he was actually a dog that went viral. Gabe the Dog was owned by a Canadian youtuber by the username 'deathtrips'. In early January of 2013, a video of Gabe barking was uploaded to the account, and it got 60,000 views in over 3 years, as well as many other videos where he became a viral meme of many different social media platforms.
Analysis: This page was uploaded in early January after Gabe the Dog's death. Now personally, I think adults make fun of this generation and claim that we are all addicted to cell phones, laptops, etc., but I think that this is such a cool thing to see. People coming together to bond over this death of a really good meme, and the internet and other material bring as together and we can meet people that we never would've met before and I think that's really and interesting and unique part to our generation.
Synthesis: This idea of everyone coming together reminds me a lot of women coming together during World War 1 (then known as the Great War) in order to help take over jobs and fight for their rights, once again, together.
