Man who spent $14K to become a collie changes his mind after realizing it's 'very difficult' to walk like a dog - Toco is now considering imitating other animals such as a panda, bear or a fox

A Japanese man who spent thousands of dollars to transform into a dog said that he has changed his mind after realizing it's hard to walk like a dog.

Toco spent $14,000 on a custom-made rough collie costume in 2022 in order to fulfill his lifelong fantasy of 'becoming an animal.'

He waited for 40 days as the special suits and makeup company Zeppet finished his 'ultra-realistic' dog costume in 2022, before finally being able to live his dream.

But now, he has revealed that the challenges of moving like a dog have made him consider imitating other animals.

'Dogs and humans have different bone structures and the way they bend their legs and arms, so it's very difficult to make movements that look like this.

'I might realistically be able to become another dog, a panda or a bear, a fox or a cat would also be nice, but they are too small for humans to try.

'I'd like to fulfill my dream of becoming another animal someday', the animal lover told Japanese news outlet WanQol.

In January, Toco uploaded video footage of his quest to successfully jump hurdles and climb A-frames while on all fours in his collie costume for his cult following of over 61,000 followers on YouTube to see.

In a video - titled 'A human turns into a dog! I tried agility in realistic dog costume!' - the man performs a series of agility tests alongside his seemingly puzzled Japanese Akita companion.

Toco's first attempted to jump a yellow-steel hurdle, measuring about 40cm high, before crashing down in a heap onto the supporting pole.

Next, the human-dog hybrid tried to effortlessly glide through a line of colorful weaving poles - before struggling to fit through the first four.

The third test was in the form of a A-frame. Toco stepped on using his front 'paws' to drag himself up and walk forward, before accepting his fate and spiraling backwards onto the ground.

Both fans and critics flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on Toco testing his agility skills as a dog.

Toco told MailOnline in May 2022: '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.'

The dog lover said he has hidden his identity and his human face from the world because he doesn't want to be judged by people he knows.

'I don't want my hobbies to be known,' he said, 'especially by the people I work with.'

Toco 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.'

Trans dogs are dogs, bigots.

That does not look like a dog.
If I saw that fucking uncanny valley weird creature on the road I would try to hit it with my car.

That Shiba Inu can sense evil. That costume would be a really cool prop for some sort of scary movie but that is not something i'd want to wear on the daily

It doesn't look like a human is in it either. I'm pretty sure this fetish thing is some front for some sort of incomprehensible demon monster to hide inside.

How do you see out of this, breath, not die of heat, so many questions. With the fursuit s it's pretty obvious how a person fits in them without dying usually.

Looks like something that would shamble towards you on the streets of Silent Hill. Fuck that.

With $14k I expected some skeletal surgeries, sawed teeth, mangled ears and the like. Similar to that infamous cat freak did to himself.

Dogs are great pets but you shouldn’t want to become one.

Funny how all the dogs are completely freaked out by the dogshaped mansmelling creature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQZJOz3QQTg

I agree with the dogs. Lacking societal pressures, they're reacting like normal humans want to.

He could've tried and found out before ordering the costume.

On a related note, a female furry in a cat mask walking on all fours attacked two 8-year-old boys in Russia (woman moment). She is 14+ and will get a talking-to in the juvie.
On an unrelated note, three 12-year-old boys raped a 8-year-old boy (man moment). As they are under 14, they will get away with it.

The mask is pretty enough for a toy (though the eyes should be shinier). The full costume is hideous. It looks like one of the monsters from Planetary Human, a gook horror comic with deformed human-eating animals.

Man learns dogs have reversed kneecaps that allow them to walk on all fours

Actually that's not kneecap that's an ankle. Dogs have long feet and walk on their toes. Their legs aren't actually reversed, just proportioned differently.

I agree with the dogs. Lacking societal pressures, they're reacting like normal humans want to.

If aliens came to earth in a 11' human suit with corpse hair and plastic hands, everyone would freak out

So walking like a dog is too difficult? But a fox....?
The man is losing me with his logic.

Different canines totally work differently. It's like how wolves walk using their ears like most animals use legs or how jackals float along like hovercraft never even touching the ground.

Dogs are completely freaked out by troons too.

It looks like he's trying to walk on his forearms and shins.

A better bet would be the knuckles and toes, no?

Either way, two nukes weren't enough.
