You are not dreaming - someone spent an incredible $14,000 to realize his dream of becoming a Border Collie. No, science hasn't progressed to the point where humans can change into canines just yet, but YouTuber Toco came very close by dressing in a disturbingly realistic dog suit and living the life of a puppy, including the crate.
To further establish his canine credentials, he even took an agility course. Why stop there, though? Now, with a unique "zoo" in Japan which opened on January 26, he is encouraging people to let their inner animals loose.
Toco took to the Instagram and penned down:
"I dreamed about becoming an animal since I was a child, and when I grew up, my dream came true in the form of a costume! ... When I was young, I thought, ‘It would be nice if there was a service where you could become an animal. What can I do to help others who feel the same way I do?’"
Ever dreamt of experiencing life as a big, fluffy Alaskan Malamute? Now you can do it. No barking lessons are required. The guests will have the opportunity to walk into an incredibly realistic life-sized dog suit complete with a wagging tail and a mouth that moves like the real thing.
Who knows how well you all trot around, take in a few belly rubs, and perfect that soulful puppy-eyed stare for those treats?
Whether you want to prance like a show dog or just lounge around like a pampered pooch, this is your shot at living the ultimate dog's life - without the hassle of shedding or chasing the mailman!
Imagine yourself pacing past naive visitors who are tail-wagging and wondering if they have visited a parallel universe.
You could even create a friendly, innocuous competition to see who can tilt his head the most convincingly or wag his tail the most enthusiastically. Just be advised that going back to your dull, normal duties after living as a fluffy giant can be quite the adjustment!
Someone (@ToasterSalty) on X commented regarding this news:
"Every furries dream"
The internet immediately jumped at the chance to explore this crazy idea. A guy transforming himself into a dog was already a conundrum, but creating a whole "zoo" for would-be dogs? That's an extraordinary commitment. As individuals struggled to comprehend the concept, social media was ablaze with perplexity, laughter, and a hint of secondhand embarrassment.
While some may have momentarily wondered whether they, too, had been covertly living as humans when their true calling was to be huge, tail-wagging Malamute all along, others likely double-checked their calendars to be sure it wasn't April Fool's Day!

The internet, as usual, had a field day with this one. After all, it is not every day that you hear about a man spending a small fortune to become a Border Collie and then deciding the world needs an entire "zoo" for aspiring canines. Some probably stared at their screens in disbelief, and others might have briefly reconsidered their own life choices, thinking what is it all for?
Why work from 9 - 5 when you could be perfecting the art of tail wagging? Of course, it is one thing that in this world of surprises, this story has found a yardstick to stand under the "things we never expected to exist but somehow do" hall of fame!
