Man Spends $15,000 On An Ultra Real Dog Costume So He Can Live Like A Collie

If you love dogs and slightly odd stories, then this one might be right up your alley. We sometimes dream of escaping our daily lives to live a simpler existence, perhaps that of a dog, but many of us wouldn't actually go through with it.

Well, this Japanese man has had a lifelong dream of being a dog, and he has finally fulfilled his goal after a long journey. This story is rather odd, surprising, and even a little sweet.

The man, whose name is Tokyo, commissioned a company named Zeppet to create this lifelike dog costume for him. They took 40 days to accomplish this realistic collie dog costume, and Tokyo is more than happy with the result.

Tokyo shares all of his content on social media, where he posts photos of the dog costume and documents his journey of living his dream as a four-legged furball. It's definitely a strange sight to see, but it is heartwarming to witness this man finally achieving his goals.

We're going to dive into this story to discuss why he made this decision, how much he spent on the costume, and more, so let's get into it!

Here's a great video of Tokyo in his dog costume showing it off.

His social media accounts are taking off.

Tokyo has shared the debut of this dog costume on his YouTube channel, which has over 1,000 subscribers, and since then, his videos have garnered over 600,000 views.

People are split on this, though.

The video on Twitter received 50,000 likes, but people seem to be divided on Tokyo's alternative lifestyle.

He went viral in Japan when he showcased his costume on his YouTube channel.

His video starts with him standing still to piano music in the background, but later, he waves his paws and rolls around on the floor.

People don't really know what to think.

Some people are praising him, saying this is awesome, while others are telling him that he'll never be a real dog, no matter how much he spends.

Zeppet did many rounds of revisions to perfect this costume.

Tokyo was involved with the company Zeppet throughout the entire process, ensuring everything was to his liking.

An employee of Zeppet speaks out.

A Zeppet employee expressed that it was challenging to create this dog costume due to the detail required to fit a human body.

Zeppet is a well-known company in Japan that makes costumes for television and film sets.

Tokyo expressed a lot of gratitude to the company for helping him make his dream come true.

Tokyo says he chose a long-haired dog because "long-haired dogs can mislead human figures."

Zeppet made the mouth open and close by itself and made it extra fluffy to conceal the human form.

He added, 'There are restrictions, but you can move in it. However, if you move too much, it will not look like a dog.'

People seem to be split on this man's decision to be a Collie and spend so much money having a realistic dog costume made. Some say it's a little weird and not worth the money, while others commend him for fulfilling his dreams.
