It doesn’t matter who we are, we all have a dream in life. Some of us dream about growing up and getting married or perhaps about having a respectable job and earning a decent living.
There is another man who had a dream, but his dream was to become a border collie. He had a dream of being a dog that was so strong that he spent $15,000 to transform himself into a dog.
Known as Toco, he was on a journey to become the best dog he could be but he was not very happy, as it seemed as if other dogs were not approving of what he had done.
Not only is Toco an interesting individual because of his desire to be a dog, but he also has many people who follow him online. He has become a famous influencer, so to speak, and his transformation has become a topic on social media since that time.
Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, Toco posted videos of himself wandering around on the street in a dog costume. He was doing this to get some attention but he also wanted to be a dog, as it was his dream in life.
He shelled out thousands of dollars to look realistic and to do everything he could to be doglike. When he went to interact with other dogs, however, he said they seemed a little surprised and unfortunately, they didn’t treat him as an equal.
Despite the fact that he didn’t do well on his first attempt, he continues to be hopeful that he will be able to connect with canines on a more personal level. He’s also interested in connecting with other therians, which is the word for people who want to identify as a nonhuman species.
After he became a viral sensation, he showed off his collie outfit that he had custom-made and developed by a TV and movie costume designer. Toco was on his way to making the transportation and documented the journey on YouTube.
He decided to be a colleague because he had a fondness for the longhair and the breed. It makes it easier for him to conceal his human form and to be more doglike.
There are some people, however, who are not very supportive of him and what he is trying to do. Despite the fact that they are not supportive, he continues to move on to do what he can to be the best dog he can be.
Interestingly, Toco decided to keep his lifestyle a secret from close friends and family until recently. Many of them are now accepting of what he is trying to do, and he is doing what he can to be a dog while he can.
He also says that he won’t stay a dog forever and he only becomes a dog a few times a month. He still remains dedicated to his investment and even has a full-size dog cage so that he can hang out in comfort.
Toco would seem to be unique but there are many people who also feel similar to him. About 250,000 people in the United States also dress up in animal costumes regularly.
It seems as if there is something to this after all.
