In Japan, a man took his love of dogs to the extreme.
He pursues his passion anonymously.
And only tells a few people about it.
Tokyo – Many dog lovers have a breed of dog that they feel particularly close to.
For some, this is the dog they want.
For others, it is also a childhood pet with many good memories.
Japanese YouTuber Toco expresses his love for his favorite dog breed a little differently.
For just under $14,000, he had a lifelike border collie costume made for him by the Japan-based company Zeppet, which produces, among other things, realistic full-body suits.

The company shows the finished costume alongside many other full body suits they have created on their website.
According to his review, Toco was very happy with the result.
He writes: “Your professional skills and efforts have made my dream come true.
Thank you for your hard work!”

The review also provides information about his motivation.
“Ever since I was a child, I had the vague idea of becoming an animal.
I wonder if it was a desire for transformation.
To make this idea come true, I decided to order a body suit in the shape of a real dog (Collie)." Since then, he has been regularly uploading videos to his YouTube channel in which he appears as a dog.
Recently, Toco took his first dog walk in public
Toco doesn't show his face on his YouTube channel because he wants to remain anonymous.
His family and some friends know about his unusual hobby, as he told the British
Mirror
.
However, he is careful about who he confides in.

Until recently, he had never been out in public in his costume.
However, a few days ago he went on his first walk as a dog.
He also recorded this step and the reactions of people and dogs to it in a short YouTube video.
Many users are amused or simply surprised in the comments under the video.
But there is also positive feedback.
For example, one user praised “Toco’s dedication to realism.”
Another user wrote: “He wanted to be a dog and did it.
As bizarre as it is, I have to give him credit for fulfilling his dream.”
Meanwhile, for a real dog, a recent 40-mile journey didn't end the way he wanted.
