It is about a man in Japan who, although he has not had surgeries to change his physical appearance permanently, has spent a large sum of money to design a quite realistic custom costume of a Collie breed dog.
Toko, via her Twitter handle, reached out to Zeppet, a company specializing in providing high-production sculptures or costumes for the film industry. It took the company 40 days to design the costume that cost what would come to be more than 15 thousand dollars
The Japanese media ‘My Navi News’ interviewed him in which they asked him why he had decided on a dog of that breed, to which he replied that a Collie looks more real.
”My favorites are four-legged animals, especially the cute ones. Among those, I thought that an animal closer to me could be good, because it is a very realistic costume, so I decided to go for a dog, “he told the local media.

Furthermore, he went on to explain: “Long-haired dogs can confuse humans. I achieved that and got myself a Collie, my favorite breed.”
As for how he can move when he is inside the costume, the man indicated that he has some restrictions because if he moves too much, he stops looking like a dog.
Toko shared a video to her YouTube account in which she presents her costume and tells her followers that he always wanted to be an animal: “I made my dream come true”.
In addition, he also pointed out that he will start uploading videos about his experience being dressed as a dog.
The community he has created on social networks, surprisingly for many, supports him in his process and even congratulates him for being an “excellent dog” and gives him suggestions regarding ways to move that could help him look more real.
