Japan has always been a little different. Pics at the link.
Man who spent $14K to transform himself into collie steps out for first-ever walk in public.

Bystanders appeared to be in awe of the man’s doggy debut as he paraded down a busy street in the viral clip, which has racked up 1.7 million views.

Human border collie Toko-San, who spent over $14,000 "transforming" himself into a dog, is hitting back at haters who claim he should go to "therapy" after he took his first ever "walk" in public last week.

Toco completed the costume with a harness strapped around his furry abdomen but admitted he was “nervous” and “scared” of venturing out in public.

“Do you remember your dreams from when you are little? You want to be a hero or a wizard,” he wrote in the clip, describing his life-dog dog dream as seemingly “unrealistic.”

“I remember writing in my grade school graduation book that I wanted to be a dog and walk outside.”
As an introduction to his unusual hobby, Toco answered a series of questions in a video posted last year, admitting he always “had a vague dream of becoming an animal” ever since he was a child.

“When I fulfilled that dream, this is how it turned out,” he wrote in the clip, adding that he chose to become a collie due to the negligible size difference between the breed and humans.

Zeppet, the company that manufactured Toco’s collie costume, says it took 40 days to create the furry fashion item, which cost a cool $2 million Yen (USD $14,161).

“Modeled after a collie dog, it reproduces the appearance of a real dog walking on four legs,” the company’s spokesperson told news.com.au.

I rarely tell my friends because I am afraid they will think I am weird,’ he said in a separate interview with the Mirror. “My friends and family seemed very surprised to learn I became an animal.”

Meanwhile, the Japanese man said last year that most of his colleagues are also unaware that he dresses as a dog outside of work.

It's not Halloween... but Chewbacca would be a better costume.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

If not already neutered for the sake of preventing this phukktard from pro-creating and contaminating the rest of the world with his seed, maybe he'll get run over in the middle of the phukking street by a semi where he conveniently chose to stop and lick his balls. One can only hope...

Reminds me about the guy in the checkout lane at the grocery. Woman in line next to him notices the bag of kibble and says, "Oh, you have a dog?"

Guy says, "No, I eat it. High protein, low fat, I lost a bunch of weight. But then I ended up in the hospital."

Woman says, "Oh, that's terrible. Was it a bad reaction to the dog food?"

Guy says, "No, I got hit by a car when I stepped of the curb to sniff a poodle's ass."

Honestly, I see no real difference between the Japanese guy and this weirdo.

He's not forcing us to accept him as a dog.

The title says he transformed himself into a dog but he just bought himself an expensive costume.

The link doesn't work but I saw the clip on tv. I thought it was a robot. And the onlookers didn't look Japanes.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
