Yes, you read that headline correctly. A Japanese man has taken his love for dogs and turned it into a whole new level of crazy.
The man, known as Toco, spend two million Yen – which is equivalent to nearly $15,000 – on a custom, life-like border collie costume in order to fill fill his strange fantasy of “becoming an animal.”
Now he is going viral for posting video updates to his YouTube channel, in which he announced that he ventured into the real world to meet other people and animals for the first time as a dog.
Daily Mail reports:
In a pair of surreal videos posted to his YouTube channel ‘I want to be an animal’, Toco is first seen being taken out for a walk on a leash, and is later seen sniffing at other dogs in a park before rolling around on the floor.
Toco interacted with other dogs, walking on all fours and sniffing at them
He reportedly enjoys “doing things that only dogs do.”
Check it out…..if you can bear it:
Toco is not ready to remove his mask and reveal his real identity though, fearing he may be bullied….and for good reason.
Last year, he told the Mirror, “I rarely tell my friends because I am afraid they will think I am weird.”
“I don’t want my hobbies to be known,” Toco said, “especially by the people I work with.”
He added, “They think it’s weird that I want to be a dog. For the same reason why I can’t show my real face.”
Fulfilling his lifelong dream, a Japanese man named Toko managed to turn himself into a dog, a “collie” to be more precise, after spending close to 2 Million Yen in the process($14k USD) It took 40 days for the costume to be made. (swipe) pic.twitter.com/sEJy7vsSan

Toco told MailOnline in May last year: ‘Ever since I was a small child, I wanted to be an animal. I think it is a desire to transform.
‘I’ve thought about it since I can remember.’
This is not a real dog, this is a Japanese man named Toko who had a realistic looking costume made to transform himself into a collie dog.#dogslife #dogsoftwitter https://t.co/m2QdwVkUDt

Someone get this man a Snickers…..you aren’t yourself when you’re hungry.
Wonder if the dog is male?
The Native Americans started this with their shape shifting.
When pigs fly. It’s coming next!
HOW Ignorant
Sick.
Headline’s wrong. It should read:
“Certifiable Nutjob wastes $15K for total Make Believe Insanity.”
