Toco, a Japanese guy, spent almost two million Yen ($14,000) on a custom-made collie suit that allowed him to pass for a dog online. The man underwent no cosmetic surgery. The person, who goes by "Toco" on YouTube, bought a "hyper-realistic" Collie suit so he could look and move like a dog.
On his YouTube account, where he has more than 32,000 subscribers, he posted video of himself wearing the disguise. He can be seen playing fetch, rolling about on the floor, and having fun on the grass in the video. The suit, he claimed, has enabled him to accomplish his goal of "becoming an animal."
Toco published a video titled "I want to be an animal" on his YouTube page, where he chronicled his transformation process. More than 1 million people saw the video, and more than 31,000 people subscribed to his channel as a result of the popularity. The video was recorded a year ago for an interview with RTL, a German TV network.
Toco recorded a video of himself going for his first-ever canine walk in the open. He paraded down a congested street, surprising onlookers, and the viral video has received 1.7 million views, according to HT.
With a leash around his neck and the dog costume on, Toco is seen out on a walk. He exhibits canine behaviors such as smelling other canines in the park and rolling about.
He admitted that he was "nervous" and "scared" to go out in public and that this made him uncomfortable. The hyper-realistic Toco costume included a harness fastened to his furry belly.

In a video that was posted last year, Toco responded to several inquiries and stated that he "had a vague dream of becoming an animal" ever since he was a young child. Due of the tiny size difference between people and the breed, he decided to become a collie.
"When I fulfilled that dream, this is how it turned out," he says in the video.
Zeppet, the business that designed the hyper-realistic collie outfit, stated that it took 40 days to complete and cost around $14,161 USD. The outfit is an exact copy of a real dog walking on all fours.
Even though Toco is well-known online as a "human dog," most of his friends and family are unaware of his strange pastime. He decides not to share it with his coworkers at work out of concern that they might find it strange.
According to Daily Mail, he stated, "I don't want my hobbies to be known, especially by the people I work with."
According to an interview he gave to Mirror, "I rarely tell my friends because I am concerned they would think I am crazy. "My family and friends seemed very shocked to learn I turned into an animal."
