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

Some people take their childhood dreams to a very unusual place, and Tokyo is one of them. The Japanese man spent years wanting to live like a dog, and he finally turned that idea into reality with a custom collie costume that cost a small fortune.

He commissioned Zeppet to build the ultra-real suit, and after 40 days of work, the result was so convincing that it started turning heads online. Tokyo has been sharing the costume on social media, where his photos and videos have sparked curiosity, confusion, and a lot of reactions.

Now the internet is debating whether this is a harmless dream come true or an expensive oddity. Here's the full story.

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

His social media accounts are taking off.

People are split on this one.

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

People don't really know what to think.

Tokyo’s costume might be one thing, but it echoes the debate in “AITA for surprising my partner with a puppy named Max without consulting her first”.

Zeppet did many rounds of revisions to perfect this costume.

One detail made all the difference.

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

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.

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.

What do you think about his decision?

It is definitely one of the strangest dream projects the internet has seen.
