Toco, the collie dog who was once a person/@I_want_to_be_an_animal/
Remember we told you about Toko?
A Japanese man who turned himself into a dog after spending more than 14,000 dollars (over NIS 50,000) for a realistic sonic dog costume custom-made for him.
He said that this unusual costume helped him realize his dream of "turning into an animal" and in the videos he shared online, he is seen dressed in a high-quality and luxurious Koli costume, frolicking on the lawn, rolling on the floor and playing fetch balls in exchange for fake dog food.
In a pair of surreal videos posted on his own YouTube channel, "I want to be an animal", Toco is even seen going for a walk with his owner on a leash - and later sniffing other dogs in the park and rolling on the floor.
There is no book that he set a high bar for himself, but it turns out that his new life as a dog is not as easy as it seemed.
Unfortunately for Toco, it seems that the real dog life is still far from him.
He failed in his attempts to jump over a low yellow hurdle placed for him and was not ashamed to document it.
It is not clear if this attempt is a new trick or if it is part of his problematic training that has provoked negative criticism from professionals.

"There's no doubt that he needs to work on his jumping abilities," dog trainer Brian Parr told the New York Post, "I think he's having a little trouble with that."
Followers who watched Toku's new video were equally embarrassed by his doggy behavior.
One commenter wondered: "Did he walk on his knees or on his feet? I don't understand the body position."
"It's shocking," testified another follower.
Toku testified last September how difficult it is for him to walk on all fours, but also added that "more than difficulty or physical discomfort, the feelings of excitement and fun I get from this experience are stronger."
Toco has another challenge he wants to achieve and fulfill his dream: "to use my skills and appear in a movie as a dog".

Toko's desire to be a dog is not a show.
He said he dreamed of living as an animal long before he ordered his Sonic costume.
If you asked yourself - what is this guy's problem?
One psychologist previously determined that Tuco is a "therian" — someone who identifies with a non-human gender — and not a "pari," referring to the furry fandom subculture in which people dress up as dogs and other animals and may engage in sexual activity with one another.
Toku admitted that he gets angry when the online trolls judge him and make fun of him.
He previously said he was afraid to 'come out' in real life because of the reactions he would get, saying: "I rarely tell my friends about it because I'm afraid they'll think I'm weird. My friends and family were very surprised when they found out I turned into an animal."
When asked about the negative comments he receives about his fetish, Tuco said: "I'm just sad that people can think it's a fetish or that there's something sexual about it. I love animals and I enjoy acting like my voice. It's my hobby, so I'll keep doing it. It makes me happy And other people too."
