Man Who Spent $14k Turning Himself Into A Dog Makes Major Life Announcement

A Japanese man who spent over $14,000 on a realistic dog costume to transform himself into a border collie now says he dreams of becoming a different animal.

Toco the Human Collie mentioned that the challenges of moving like a dog have made him consider imitating other animals as well.

“Humans and dogs have different bone structures and the way they bend their legs and arms, so it’s very difficult to make movements that look like this,” Toco explained.

“I might realistically be able to become another dog, a panda, or a bear,” Toco told Japanese news outlet WanQol. “A fox or a cat would also be nice, but they are too small for humans to try.”

He added, “I’d like to fulfill my dream of becoming another animal someday.”

It’s unclear whether he has immediate plans to branch out into other parts of the animal kingdom.

Toco, who shares his experiences of living as a dog on his YouTube channel titled “I want to be an animal,” has faced intense backlash and mockery over his lifestyle. Toco expressed the difficulty of walking on all fours in an interview with The Post in September.

“Rather than being tough or physically uncomfortable, the feelings of excitement and fun I receive from this experience are stronger,” he said at the time.

However, Toco’s desire to be a dog is no act.

He has said he dreamed of living as an animal long before he ordered his collie costume.

“I’ve wanted to be an animal ever since I can remember,” he said.
