Meet Toco The Collie: Man Spends 14K To Turn Himself Into A Dog

SPOILER ALERT: The pic of me and the stuffed dog is not Toco. LOL... Japan... You've got some unique individuals.  A Japanese YouTuber named Toco spent 14 thousand dollars to turn himself into a dog and then he went public.  Toco said in one of his YouTube captions that the costume was worth it to "actualize his dream of becoming an animal."  Check out Toco the collie as he interacts with other dogs and people in a park.

Toco's incredibly realistic collie costume was made by Zeppet.  The company said it took 40 days to make. an article news.com.au said that a spokesperson from Zeppet commented, “Modelled after a collie dog, it reproduces the appearance of a real dog walking on four legs.”  

Walking seems to be the hardest part for Toco.  Walking on all fours has got to be a challenge when you're a human.  Toco has over 30,000 followers on YouTube, but he never shows his face.  In the same News.com article, Toco explains that he doesn't show his face because he worries that people will think he's "weird." Nah Bruh, you're good.  JK... tell NO ONE.

I really thought I was looking at a real collie when I first saw clips of Toco in his dog suit.  I wonder if it has any fans in it.  It's got to be super hot in that costume. I'm all for "you be you" but I agree that he shouldn't show his face.  These are some strange days we live in, friend.  The video space of people and their hobbies just keeps getting... more specific.  At least Toco's hits on Youtube should help pay the 14 grand the costume cost.  The whole time I was writing this, The Stooges were running through my mind.

Occasionally, we may forget something in the house, at an establishment, or maybe in your ride share. Uber released their seventh annual Uber Lost & Found Index. It shows which items riders leave behind the most often.
