A Japanese man, Toco, is living his dream of becoming a dog after spending thousands of dollars and months of training.
He commissioned a model and sculpture company, Zeppet, to create a realistic collie costume for him in 2022 and spent 40 days and 2 million yen ($15,700 USD) to have it made.
Toco then began training to behave like a real dog and documented the process on his YouTube channel.

However, he expresses worries about the opinions of others and rarely tells his friends due to fear of being judged.
