A Japanese man known as Toco shared a video on his YouTube channel, which has nearly 30,000 subscribers, showing him wearing a full costume that makes him look like a real dog. Toco spent $22,000, or about 2 million Japanese yen, on a realistic rough collie costume to fulfill his dream of becoming a dog. Despite feeling "a bit anxious and scared about the outdoor adventure," the video showed that he received a warm welcome from passersby and even other dogs. Toco expressed that he enjoys doing things that only dogs do. The video garnered thousands of views on social media, but Toco chose to keep his identity anonymous for fear of judgment from people he knows.
