The alleged dog owner behind the dogwifhat memecoin is selling her photos as NFTs.
The auction will run for three days, and according to the foundation’s auction page, the current bid for the NFT is 6.9 ETH, or $25,000 worth. According to a post on its owner’s Instagram account, it appears to be in partnership with Fiesty DAO.

The person running the Instagram account where the NFT announcement was made claims to be the dog’s owner, but has provided no evidence other than a photo of a similar-looking dog. They said they would provide evidence via direct message on Instagram. Block reached out via DM but did not hear back from the account owner.
