About the Heroes Behind Teddy

Doge Van: The Rescue Road King

Doge Van (@ballsdeepindoge) is the heartbeat behind Teddy’s story and the DOGEVAN movement. A trucker turned dog savior, he’s crisscrossed the U.S. rescuing Shibas and other pups from shelters and dire straits, racking up hundreds of saves since 2023. His X posts show epic convoy runs—Texas to California, Florida to New York—each with a Shiba riding shotgun. DOGEVAN, his token, funds vet bills, food, and fuel, with community donations keeping the wheels turning. Teddy was one of his early rescues, sparking the $TEDDY idea. Van’s a legend: part Doge pioneer, part animal hero, driving the ethos of community and resilience that powers our CTO takeover. Check his latest rescue threads—pure inspiration! He’s organized multi-state dog drives, partnered with local shelters, and even livestreamed a Shiba reunion—proof he’s all about action, not just talk.

BillyM2k: The OG Doge Disruptor

BillyM2k (@BillyM2k), the self-proclaimed "dumbass who made Dogecoin," is a crypto legend with 2.2M+ followers and a knack for chaotic fun. As DOGE's co-creator, he turned a Shiba meme into a billion-dollar movement back in 2013—proving vibes > fundamentals. For $TEDDY, the community honored him with a 3% allocation, but true to form, Billy sold it off quick (check the screenshot on our home page for the deets). That dump? It echoed DOGE's wild early days and supercharged our CTO takeover—no devs, just pure holder power. Billy's still out there memeing AI Doges and calling out hype, keeping the spirit alive.
