The odd obsession of changing oneself into a dog has gained popularity recently among several LGBTQ communities.
However, one man in Japan went above and beyond by investing more than $15,000 to transform himself into a Collie.
A man named Toco purchased a costume that took the Japanese business Zeppet 40 hours to create so he could indulge his love by dressing as a dog.
On Toco’s YouTube page, viewers can watch him take walks, roll around, and even consume dog food.
Right now, Toco has gathered well over a million views on his videos and has amassed over 12,000 subscribers.
Toco admitted that he hasn’t yet revealed to some of his closest friends that he has a secret existence as a dog.

Toco stated publicly that “I rarely tell my friends because I am afraid they will think I am weird. My friends and family seemed very surprised to learn I became an animal.”
The bizarre preoccupation with changing into a dog has even spread to the American military.
Groups of “pups” and “pup handlers” have reportedly been uploading pictures of themselves on social media.
