Japanese Dude Spends Nearly 16k Dollars To Transfer Himself Into A Collie

A Japanese man has spent more than $15,000 to fulfill his dream of transforming into a four-legged animal.

The man, known only by his Twitter username, Toco, spent 2 million Japanese yen, or about $15,700, to create a lifelike rough-collie costume that he could inhabit.

A video shared by the man on Twitter last month has since been viewed over 1.7 million times. The footage shows the man rolling around on the ground in his rough-collie suit and gesturing at the camera with his "paw."

Toco also has a YouTube channel through which he documents snippets of his life in the fur costume. In the channel's description, he wrote: "I wanted to be an animal, so I became a collie!"
