A Japanese guy who paid $14,000 (about Rs. 12 lakh) to transform into a dog has made hints that he now wishes to change into a different species. ‘I want to be an animal’ is the YouTube channel where Toco, a guy, has documented his whole transformation into a border collie. He stated that he wished to realize his childhood ambition of turning into an animal and going on adventures outside as a dog.
Toko recently declared that he now wanted to live like a different animal in an interview with a Japanese news source. He said that although it might not be able to test two of the animals, he still wanted to attempt four. Although he admitted that he wanted to test four animals, he might not be able to use two of them.
Speaking to WanQol, he said, ”Dogs and humans have different bone structures and the way they bend their legs and arms, so dogs . . . it’s very difficult to make movements that look like this.”
“I’m currently researching ways to make my limbs look more like dogs. Also, when they get dirty, they get dirt and dirt on their fur, so it takes a lot of effort to clean it every time. Of course, I would like to become another animal as well. I might realistically be able to become another dog, a panda, or a bear. A fox or a cat would also be nice, but they are too small for humans to try. I’d like to fulfil my dream of becoming another animal someday.”
Toco had previously stated that his “favourite breed” of dog is a collie, which is why he decided to change into one. The man, who has declined to give his own name, frequently uploads videos to his channel of himself training new tricks, eating dog food, and going for walks with his pet.
“I made it a collie because it looks real when I put it on my taste and costume. My favourite is quadrupedal animals, especially cute ones. Among them, I thought that a big animal close to me would be good, considering that it would be a realistic model, so I decided to make it a dog. Long-haired dogs can mislead the human figure. I met such a condition and made Collie, my favourite breed of dog,” he said.
He also disclosed that a lot of individuals who aspire to be like him leave comments on his YouTube account. He expressed how it makes him feel accepted and happy.
Psychologists speculate that he may be a Therian, an individual who identifies as a species of non-human animal. Therian, they claimed, should not be confused with Furry, who occasionally indulges in cosplay in the form of a “fursuit” or animal costume.
“It’s important “to distinguish between furries, who are fans of anthropomorphic animals … and therians, who on some level identify as a creature other than human,” associate professor of psychology at Pittsburgh’s Duquesne University, Dr Elizabeth Fein, told The New York Post.
