A Japanese man has made headlines by investing over $20,000 to live out his lifelong dream of “becoming an animal” – a dog, to be precise. Known as Toco, he went to great lengths to achieve his goal, purchasing an elaborate collie dog costume. Documenting his unique journey on a YouTube channel, Toco has garnered a considerable following of 49,000 subscribers.
In one of his recent posts, Toco can be seen joyfully playing in his backyard and showcasing tricks for tasty treats. He even braved the outdoors, going for a walk and interacting with other dogs, sniffing around like a genuine four-legged companion, as reported by news.com. During his first public appearance in his canine persona, Toco admitted to feeling nervous and a little scared.
Consequently, he chooses not to speak in his videos, wanting to preserve his human identity incognito and avoid judgment. The carefully crafted collie dog outfit perfectly emulates the appearance of a real dog walking on all fours, meticulously designed to fulfill Toco’s dream of truly living life as an animal.
