"I wanted to be an animal and I became a collie" said Toco who had a realistic costume made

Image
This is the story of a Japanese guy whose name is Toco. He had and still has a lifelong ambition to be an animal. To achieve that goal, he spent about ¥2 million which is about €12,800 to have a costume made specifically for him of a collie dog. It is very realistic and when he wears it in that moment, he becomes a collie dog. You can see him wearing the costume in the video below.  When I first saw this moving, large collie dog, I thought that it was a robot because it moves rather slowly and clumsily. And then I realised that it was Toco inside the costume. He has a successful YouTube channel with 44,500 subscribers and the video on this page has been seen 6.5 million times approximately.

YouTube admin have removed the video and a good thing t...
