In an unusual and extraordinary move, a Japanese man named Toco spent a staggering $20,000 (N17M) to transform himself into a border collie. He achieved this transformation by purchasing a hyperrealistic dog costume from a Japanese company called Zeppet. After spending 40 days creating the intricate disguise, Toco finally took his first walk in public as a dog.
During his outing, Toco made friends with other canines, and people were captivated by the lifelike features and realistic movements of his costume, making it seem like he was a real dog. In written notes explaining his decision, Toco revealed that his desire to become a dog dates back to his childhood, driven by his admiration for these loyal and playful creatures.
He chose to hide his human identity to avoid judgment and scrutiny, especially from people he knows. While some may find his choice perplexing, it’s a reminder that individuality comes in various forms, and Toco’s unique perspective allows him to experience life differently.
