International Dog Day, observed across the world on Aug. 26, is a special day to celebrate the presence of canines in our lives and cherish their companionship.
The cryptocurrency space also has a special affinity with these cute critters, thanks to the numerous popular dog-themed memecoins that have emerged in recent years.
But apart from capturing their hearts, these memecoins have also captured wallets, as some of them have generated massive returns for their investors.
On that note, let's check out which dog-inspired tokens gained the most this year.
Best ‘Purr'-formers of 2024: Memecoins have ascended this year, helped by a substantial rise in the broader cryptocurrency market.
Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based dogwifhat was the biggest year-to-date gainer as of this writing, returning a whopping 1106% to its investors. The coin was one among only six meme coins with a market capitalization exceeding $1 billion.

Blue-chip canine coins also recorded healthy gains this year. The first-ever memecoin Dogecoin was up 21.42%, while Shiba Inu, which followed in its footsteps, spiked 44% year-to-date.
Solana-based Bonk was another billion-dollar memecoin that fared admirably, with a 40% increase.
