In a Facebook post, Dr. Anton Lim announced Kabang's demise.
"I found her lying motionless near her bed tonight. I last saw her very alive at 3pm when I fed her and changed her water. When I went to her enclosed play area to feed her at 7pm, she was dead, probably for 1-2 hours already. I knew she was out playing with the other dogs as always because of her usual soiled feet," he wrote.
Lim added that Kabang may have died of old age as she is already 12 years old which is around 91 years old in human age.
Born in February 2008, Kabang was one of the most famous dogs in the country after her heroic act in 2012.
"Thank you Kabang for the 8 years of unconditional love, loyalty and joy you brought to our family. Thank you for the life lessons and the inspiration you gave to the world. We will miss you. Hope to see you again. Rest in peace Kabang," Lim said.
Kabang's former owner, Rudy Bunggal, passed away in 2018.
