“Dog’s reaction to seeing a realistic dog costume,” reads the caption to the video shared on X by Toco. The video shows the dog barking at the man in dog’s costume. After a few seconds, Toco bends down and moves towards the dog. As a result, the dog takes a few steps back while still barking. Towards the end of the video, the dog stops barking and runs away from Toco.

In 2022, Toco wore a realistic dog suit and introduced himself to his YouTube subscribers as a human who had become a collie because he ‘wanted to be an animal’. He commissioned the Japanese company Zeppet to create the unique outfit, which took 40 days to make. The company’s statement regarding the suit reads, “We custom-made a dog suit for an individual client. The suit, modeled after a collie, pursues reality in its quadrupedal locomotion.” What are your thoughts on this?
