A man who spent a significant sum of money was let down when actual canines avoided and declined to play with him in the park.
Toco, a Japanese man who loves to dress up as dogs, spent millions of dollars to transform himself into a dog using an incredibly lifelike costume.
He was disappointed to learn that other dogs did not regard him equally despite having spent millions of dollars.
The man expressed his displeasure in an interview with the Sun by saying…
“They seemed a little surprised, and unfortunately, they did not treat me as an equal.”
He reacted to words from critics as he insisted that he will carry on with his passion for roleplaying.
“I’m just sad that people can think that. I love animals and enjoy play-acting like a collie. This is my hobby so I will carry on,” he said.
Toco highlights that he is now searching for other therians (People who identify as non-human species) to connect with.
Last month,hundreds of humans who identify as dogs gathered in a city centre in Germany to advocate for their rights.
Around 1,000 “trans-species” activists met up last week at the Berlin Potsdamer Platz railway station in the German capital.
The canine-identifying humans communicated by barking and howling at each other during their gathering.
The group said they do not identify as human beings and instead wish to be recognised as dogs.
The event was organized by a group called “Canine Beings.”
Video shared online shows dozens of the activists in elaborate dog costumes posing for a group photo.
Trans-species people are humans who claim they do not feel or identify as human beings, but instead as specific animals or mythological beings.
