The CEO of the social media site on Monday changed the famous bird logo of the Twitter home page to a Shiba Inu.

The change is only applicable to the social media site's online version as the app version is still displaying the bird logo.

Every time Musk does something related to the Shiba Inu's image, the biggest beneficiary is the Dogecoin cryptocurrency, whose monogram is the image of a Shiba Inu.

Monday was no exception as the price of a Dogecoin soared 30 per cent after Musk changed the logo. 

A bird is considered a manifestation of a chatterbox, while a dog is the epitome of loyalty.

However, this was not the explanation that Musk gave, but it hints at the recent change of order in the company.  

Musk tweeted a photo showing a traffic policeman checking the photo of a Shiba Inu on his driving licence.

The policeman is awestruck at the photo since it shows Twitter's bird logo. The Shiba Inu, sitting in the car, replies to the policeman that that was his old photo. 

In another tweet, Musk shares his conversation with a user who advises him to buy Twitter and change the bird logo to a Shiba Inu dog. Musk writes in the tweet, 'as promised'.

The story of Musk's Twitter dog

 

The dog in the picture is named Kosabu and belongs to the Japanese breed of Shiba Inu 

The dog was rescued and adopted in 2008, and the now-famous picture was taken in 2010

    
The most famous dog logo

 

The most famous dog logo in the world is the one carried by the music company, HMV, on the covers of its music albums.

The logo, also known as His Master's Voice (HMV), is of a dog named Nipper, who is sitting near a gramophone.

It is said that the dog belonged to the deceased brother of Francis Barraud, who painted the logo.

The gramophone also belonged to his brother.

Barraud writes that whenever he played a music number on the gramophone, the dog ran towards it.

He associated Nipper's activity with his loyalty to his master's possessions.

This is how the concept of His Master's Voice was coined.
